With the B.C. government adding children under 12 to its vaccination program, the provincial teachers91裸聊视频� union says it91裸聊视频檚 in favour of holding clinics on school sites.

The B.C. Ministry of Health said that children aged five to 11 will be able to receive vaccines beginning Monday, Nov. 29. Dr. Penny Ballem, doctor in charge of the roll-out, said vaccination will take place at some schools after hours. Teri Mooring, B.C. Teachers91裸聊视频� Federation president, told Black Press she is in favour of the move.

91裸聊视频淚t makes sense that the places that families normally go to are used for vaccination clinics,91裸聊视频� Mooring said. 91裸聊视频淯sing schools in the evening, or after school, it91裸聊视频檚 a great use of schools. In lots of communities, the school is the hub of the community, especially in smaller communities 91裸聊视频� that makes the vaccines accessible and I think it91裸聊视频檚 important that families go to places where they have trust.91裸聊视频�

While Mooring said the decision to inoculate a child is ultimately up to parents, numbers provided by the province Nov. 23 showed instances of infection of children in that demographic has 91裸聊视频渟ignificantly increased since the start of the school year.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淲hile children typically don91裸聊视频檛 get as sick as adults do with COVID-19, they can still pass [it] on to others that may be medically vulnerable,91裸聊视频� said Mooring. 91裸聊视频淚n order for us all to be protected, we all need to be vaccinated and so we are certainly encouraging families to register, if they haven91裸聊视频檛 registered already, and to get their children vaccinated.91裸聊视频�

Mooring also encourages that parents who are hesitant to consult with a medical professional.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 going to be really important for families to get updated information from reliable sources about the effectiveness of the vaccine and the fact that they are safe,91裸聊视频� said Mooring.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 been very few negative outcomes, in terms of children being vaccinated, and those negative outcomes haven91裸聊视频檛 been significant. There91裸聊视频檚 been some, but there hasn91裸聊视频檛 been significant illness for example. The vaccines are safe, they91裸聊视频檙e reliable and they91裸聊视频檝e been tested and approved both in the U.S. and in Canada now.91裸聊视频�
