Dear all,
Greetings!
Since the Epidemic outbreak at Nanjing Lukou International Airport on July 20th, relevant cases have occurred in many provinces and cities in the past 10 days. The epidemic situation in the mainland is severe and complex. In order to organize well the epidemic prevention and control work and to ensure the health and safety of teachers and students, Xishan District Education Bureau deployed and strengthened the epidemic prevention and control of the whole education system and schools at the first time. Here we would like to share the following three things for your attention:
No.1 COVID-19 Vaccination for Primary and Secondary School Students (including Technical Secondary Schools and technical schools) Aged Between 12 and 17 in Xishan District
Vaccination
At present, COVID-19 inactivated vaccine (Vero cell) produced by Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co. Ltd of SINOPHARM and Sinovac Research & Development Co., Ltd and their sub package enterprises have been approved to be used for emergency in minors aged 3 to 17, so as to establish the crowd immunity barrier as soon as possible. To fully protect students’ health and life safety, all school-age students are required to be vaccinated (except for vaccination contraindications).
Purpose
The first injection of COVID-19 vaccine for primary and secondary school students (including technical secondary schools and technical schools) aged 12-17 in Xishan District shall be vaccinated before August 7th, and the interval between the two injections is 21 to 28 days. In principle, students can go through the admission procedures only with the certificate of the first injection or exemption certificate at the beginning of the autumn semester in 2021. The freshmen of our Grade 7 and Grade 10 will be arranged by our school to get the vaccination.
Note: For this autumn semester our primary and secondary schools start on August 24th, and all these students report and register in school on August 23rd.
Arrangement：In principle, vaccination shall be managed according to the school territory, and all the students shall be vaccinated uniformly and intensively. However, considering the wide distribution of our students’ residence and the current severe epidemic situation, in order to reduce personnel mobility and complete student vaccination, the school has the following arrangements for our students’ vaccination after communicating with Xishan District Education Bureau, Anzhen Town Government and Anzhen Health Service Center and other departments:
Our students living in Xishan District need to get the first injection of the vaccination at Wuxi Tianyi Experimental School ( Address: No. 2 Xingyue Road , Xishan District) from 12:30 to 13:30 on August 7th. Students living outside of Xishan District or Wuxi City could go to your local community health service center for the first injection before August 7th, if the local community health service center cannot supply the vaccination, please contact your head of grade and you will be arranged to get the vaccination on at Wuxi Tianyi Experimental School on August 7th together with our Xishan students.
Note: please take a photo of the certificate of your first injection and email your homeroom teacher before 14:00 on August 7th. For Grade 7 freshmen please email your head of grade Ms Shen Fiona.wx@suis.com.cn. For Grade 10 freshmen please email your head of grade Ms Wangxue.wang.wx@suis.com.cn.
