Middle School Announcement
COVID VACCINATION
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Morrison Academy Kaohsiung (MAK) has been notified by the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) regarding the Moderna Covid-19 vaccination for children ages 6 to 11 years old. In recognizing the distribution of the vaccines as a family-school community service, MAK will assist the CECC and the Ministry of Education (MOE). Children ages 6 – 11 will be eligible to receive the vaccine.
***In order for your child to receive the Moderna 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. Please use the next two weeks to make the necessary adjustments to your working schedule. Thank you for your cooperation. After the child has received the vaccine, parents or guardians are to sign out their child and go home.***
When parents or guardians arrive at MAK, please social distance by staying with your child only and adhering to all Covid-19 government regulations:
- Wear a mask at all times and sanitize your hands
- Conduct a temperature check
- Complete a health declaration form
MAK has secured Friday, May 13th, 2022 as the vaccination distribution date on which medical staff from the CECC will come to campus and administer jabs to the respective students. The jabs will be administered from 1:30 pm through 3:15 pm in the MPR.
For students to receive the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine, all parents and guardians MUST complete and return a hard copy of the consent form to MAK by Friday, May 6th. Even if you choose NOT to have your child receive the vaccine, please complete and return the consent form, as the school can provide each family a referral form to take to their local health clinic. Please have your child return the hard copy consent form directly to the office or to their classroom teacher to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
Please click below to access the consent form:
Please print, complete, and return the consent form to MAK by Friday, May 6, 2022.
Thank you for your support and cooperation,
Dr. Kim

***為了讓莫德那疫苗接種事宜順利進行,一位家長或監護人必須到校陪伴。當家長抵達校園時,請遵守所有防疫規定。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。請利用接下來的兩週思考並且在您的工作行程上做安排以及調度。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:
- 全程配戴口罩並進行手部消毒
- 測量體溫
- 填寫健康聲明書
年滿6到11歲的學童皆符合此次的疫苗接種資格。
學校已經跟衛生所預約,訂於2022年5月13日(星期五),下午1:30至3:15在學校MPR進行疫苗施打。在當日,將會有醫護人員至校園替符合資格的學生施打疫苗。
為了讓學生能夠順利進行莫德納疫苗接種,所有家長以及監護人,請務必完成填寫接種意願書,並於5月6日(星期五)繳回學校。即便您不同意讓您的小孩進行疫苗接種,也請您務必填寫意願書,並且繳回學校。為了確保隱私權以及資料的機密性,請讓您的孩子把紙本的意願書直接繳交到學校辦公室或是班導。
