KANGAR (Bernama): There are still 26 teachers out of the 4,710 teachers in the state who are refusing the Covid-19 vaccine, says Perlis state executive councillor in charge of education, Rozieana Ahmad. She said they are being persuaded to get vaccinated before school reopens. The Pauh assemblywoman said school staffers need to get vaccinated but the 26 teachers are still not ready due to some reasons like a chronic illness. "I’m appealing to them to consider the students rather than themselves to prevent the children from falling behind,” she said. Rozieana said earlier there were 91 teachers who refused the vaccine, but after discussions, 65 agreed to get vaccinated.- Bernama
