After having started last Monday 14 the vaccination campaign for children in schools in the country, directors of different educational centers in Santo Domingo East reported that the inoculation process in their schools has not taken place because parents are not convinced to vaccinate their children against Covid-19.

Catalina Adón, director of the San Martín de Porres School, indicated that last Tuesday they summoned parents to make them aware of the vaccine, and despite the fact that they attended en masse, 90% are reluctant to inoculate their children.

“They do not agree. Of the parents who have attended less than 10% have agreed to inoculate the children. They are afraid,” said Adón.

This center has an enrollment of 627 students who are of age to receive the vaccine, but without their parents’ authorization this will not be possible.
