English: Aside from strictly implementing public health protocols and installing adequate handwashing and sanitation facilities, Gatchalian called on the DOH and the DepEd to ensure maximum vaccination coverage among teachers and learners, including and especially those, who are already eligible for their booster shots. Gatchalian earlier proposed school-based vaccination to promote the safe return of learners to schools. He also pointed to the persisting challenge of vaccinating learners in the 5 to 11 age group.
Filipino: Maliban sa mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng mga public health protocols at pagtiyak sa sapat na handwashing at sanitation facilities, pinatitiyak ni Gatchalian sa DOH at sa DepEd na palawigin pa ang vaccination coverage sa mga guro at mag-aaral, kabilang ang mga maaari nang makatanggap ng kanilang mga booster shots. Matatandaang isinusulong ni Gatchalian ang school-based vaccination bilang bahagi ng ligtas balik-eskwela ng mga mag-aaral. Tinukoy din ni Gatchalian ang nananatiling hamon sa pagbabakuna ng mga mag-aaral na may edad 5 hanggang 11.
