All of humanity is terrified and afraid of what the consequences of the pandemic brought about by COVID-19 will be. When there is a vaccine for it, everyone is still worried about whether it is effective or has a bad effect on the human body. But despite everything, people are still trying to save their lives and this health issues will end the pandemic that everyone is facing.
The Department of Education (DepEd) whose ongoing inoculation of teachers has provided hope for students hoping to return to physical class in a limited mode amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. The launch of vaccination for educators across the country was accelerated following the adjustment of vaccine prioritization from priority group A1 to A4 for primary education front-liners.
In this matter, with the benefits of being vaccinated teachers are encouraged. Despite everything, our teachers have taken the chances to be vaccinated to look forward that the next school year will be restored where everyone can go to school again.
COVID-19 vaccines offer hope, and while vaccines continue to be available, we must remember that precautionary measures such as physical prevention, masks, and hand hygiene are must proceed after vaccination. ###
