For the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), vaccine hesitancy is the “least” of its problems when it comes to the inoculation of tertiary students against coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
For the Commission on Higher Education , vaccine hesitancy is the “least” of its problems when it comes to the inoculation of tertiary students against coronavirus disease .“Whenever I go, I have not seen vaccine hesitancy on the students,” CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera said during the ceremonial vaccination of college students in Quezon City University on Oct. 29. “There seems to be some vaccine hesitancy on the parents of the students,” he added.
“There is hesitancy because of certain religious beliefs, that is a little more difficult to address,” he said. In order to promote the urgency of vaccinating students, CHED launched a vaccination caravan early this month. De Vera said that students who were already vaccinated can convince their parents because they have experienced it already. “They’re in the best position to go to their families and convince the parents to get vaccinated,” he added.
