GETTING as many people vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as possible is the country’s focus.
More so now, as schools in states under Phases Two and Three of the National Recovery Plan are set to reopen in stages from Oct 3, beginning with exam year students in Forms Five and Six.As the date looms closer, the Education Ministry has assured that getting teachers and school staff vaccinated is a priority. On Friday, Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin said teachers who refuse to be vaccinated will not be allowed to interact with students face-to-face when schools reopen.
