Covid-19 Student Vaccination

Morrison Academy Kaohsiung (MAK) has been notified by the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) regarding the availability of the Pfizer-BioNT Covid-19 vaccination/booster for children ages 5 to 17 years old.  In recognizing the distribution of the vaccine/booster as a family-school community service, MAK will assist the CECC.  Children ages 5 – 17 will be eligible to receive the vaccine/booster on Monday, May 30th, 2022, from 1:30 pm – 3:15 pm in the MPR.

On the day of the vaccination (5/30/2022 ), the student or parent must bring the student’s health insurance card, ARC, and a yellow card for the vaccination.

***In order for your child to receive the  Covid-19 vaccine at MAK, one parent or guardian must be present at school.  The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that elementary students feel safe and secure when receiving the vaccine.  By having one parent or guardian present, the goal is to reduce any fears and make the child feel comfortable. After the child has received the vaccine, parents or guardians are to sign out their child and go home.***   

When elementary parents or guardians arrive at MAK, please social distance by staying with your child only and adhering to all Covid-19 government regulations:

  1. Wear a mask at all times and sanitize your hands
  2. Conduct a temperature check
  3. Complete a health declaration form

Middle school and high school students may receive the Pfizer-BioNT Covid-19 vaccine/booster at MAK independently without a parent or guardian present at school.  After your child gets the vaccine/booster, they may return to their class.  

*Children ages 12 (May 27, 2010) and above may receive their second jab after 12 weeks of receiving their first Covid-19 vaccine.

**Children ages 12 (May 27, 2010) and above may receive a booster (Pfizer-BioNTech) at least 5-months after completing their second Covid-19 vaccine jab.   

After vaccination, please stay at MPR for at least 15 minutes. If you feel uncomfortable afterward, please tell the doctor and nurses in the vaccination area.

Precautions before vaccination:

  • Do not stay up late the day before.
  • Students should not fast prior to vaccination.
  • Encourage students to eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water to avoid post-vaccination dizziness caused by fasting and dehydration.
  • Wear loose-fitting, short-sleeved clothing.
  • Make sure students do not feel uncomfortable before vaccination.
  • In case of discomfort, it is recommended to wait until the condition has stabilized before vaccination.

高雄馬禮遜美國學校獲悉中央流行疫情指揮中心針對5歲到17歲學生施打輝瑞BNT疫苗/追加劑(第三劑)所頒布的相關公告。學校視協助疫苗接種事宜為一項服務家庭及學校全體的要事,因此學校將會協助指揮中心以及教育部的指令來進行疫苗接種事宜,預計於2022年5月30日(一)下午1:30到3:15在學校MPR進行。

在疫苗接種當天(5/30/2022),學生或家長必須攜帶學生的健保卡、ARC和接種疫苗的黃卡。

***為了讓輝瑞BNT疫苗接種事宜順利進行,一位家長或監護人必須到校陪伴。此要求的目的在於確保學童在接種疫苗時可以覺得安全以及安心。讓一位家長來陪同,主要是為了減少任何因接種疫苗可能產生的恐懼及害怕,並且讓學童能夠有安全感。感謝您的配合。當小孩完成疫苗接種,家長將小孩帶回家休息。 *** 

當小學部的家長們抵達校園時,請保持社交安全距離,只和自己的小孩互動,並遵循以下政府防疫規範:

  1. 全程配戴口罩並進行手部消毒
  2. 測量體溫
  3. 填寫健康聲明書

預計在學校進行輝瑞BNT疫苗或是追加劑接種的中學及高中生,毋需家長或監護人到校陪同進行接種。在接種疫苗後,學生可回到教室休息。

*12歲以上的學生(2010年5月27日以前出生),若完成新冠疫苗第一劑接種已達12周以上,可在此次進行第二劑接種。

**12歲以上的學生(2010年5月27日以前出生),若完整接種兩劑新冠疫苗已達五個月以上,可於此次進行追加劑接種。

接種疫苗後,請在MPR至少停留15分鐘。如果事後覺得不舒服,請告訴接種站的醫生和護士。

疫苗接種前應注意的提示

  • 前一天不要熬夜。  
  • 學生在接種疫苗前不要禁食。
  • 鼓勵學生均衡飲食,多喝水,以避免接種後因空腹和脱水引起的頭暈。
  • 穿着寬鬆的短袖。
  • 確保學生在接種疫苗前没有不適感。
  • 如有不適,建議等到病情穩定後再接種。
