THE Department of Education (DepEd) has launched its Vacc2School: Ligtas na Bakuna para sa Balik-Eskwela campaign, to encourage teaching and non-teaching personnel to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

“We would like to encourage our teachers to be vaccinated because it is not only a matter of protecting your personal rights, but it is also a matter of protecting the lives and health of children and staff who are also entrusted in our care,” said Education Secretary Leonor Briones, who was recently inoculated herself.
