Dear Parents and Guardians,

Morrison Academy Kaohsiung (MAK) is aware of the announcement made by the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) regarding the Pfizer-BNT Covid-19 vaccination for children ages 12 – 17.  In recognizing the distribution of the vaccines as a family-school community service, MAK will assist the CECC and the Ministry of Education (MOE).  

MAK has secured Friday, September 24, 2021 as the vaccination distribution date on which medical staff will come to campus to administer jabs to the respective students.  Children ages 12 – 17 with birthdays from Sept. 25th, 2003 to Sept. 24th, 2009 will be eligible to receive the vaccine.

For students to receive the Pfizer-BNT Covid-19 vaccination, all parents and guardians MUST complete and return a hard copy of the consent form to MAK by Monday, September 13th.  Complete and return the consent form even if you choose to have your child NOT receive the vaccine by Monday, September 13th.  Please have your child return the hard copy consent form directly to the office to ensure privacy and confidentiality.

Here are the sections on the form that must be completed by the parents.

Two primary PDF documents are attached to this email:  

  1. Consent Form
  2. Letter From Minister Chen of the CECC

Please print, complete, and return the consent form to MAK by Monday, September 13th.  

A hardcopy consent form will also be available and distributed to students ages 12 and above today. 

Finally, MAK  is currently in the process of receiving clarification from the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) regarding the eligibility of the Pfizer-BNT Covid-19 vaccination for students 18 years old and above.  

As MAK waits for a response, I ask that you please complete and return the hard copy consent form regardless of your choice to agree or disagree in receiving the vaccine by Monday, September 13th. 

Thank you for your support.  

Thank You,
Daniel Kim, Ed.D.
Principal 校長

親愛的家長及監護人,平安:

高雄馬禮遜美國學校獲悉中央流行疫情指揮中心針對12歲到17歲學生施打輝瑞BNT疫苗所頒布的相關公告。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。

學校已經跟衛生所預約,訂於2021年九月24日(星期五),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。年滿12歲至17歲(2003年9月25日~2009年9月24日出生者)的學生符合此次疫苗施打的資格。

為了讓學生能夠順利進行輝瑞BNT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,並於九月13日(星期一)繳回學校。即便您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交到學校辦公室。

家長必須完成填寫意願書上的這兩個部分

本封電郵內的兩份附件檔案是:

  1. BNT疫苗學生接種須知及評估暨意願書
  2. 衛福部及教育部長給家長的信

請列印、填寫並將此意願書在九月13日(星期一)繳回學校

學校亦會將紙本的意願書在今天發給12歲以上的學生帶回家。

最後,學校正在積極與中央流行疫情指揮中心釐清,超過18歲(含)以上的學生是否可以列在本次校園輝瑞BNT疫苗接種作業的實施對象。

當學校正在等待正面回應之際,懇請您無論是否同意讓您的孩子進行疫苗接種,都請完成填寫意願書,並於九月13日(一)將意願書繳回。

感謝您的支持!

校長 金德民 教育博士  敬啟
