President Piñera announces the start of the vaccination process for teachers and educational personnel

The process will begin gradually on Monday, February 15.

The President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, announced on Friday the start of the vaccination process for teachers and educational personnel.

The process will begin gradually on Monday, February 15, with the hope of helping to launch the beginning of the school year.

“We decided to push forward the start of the vaccination process for teachers and educational personnel to Monday, February 15. This would facilitate the return to face-to-face classes starting in March, and thus recuperate lost time and ensure quality education for all of our children and young people, which they very much need and deserve,” the President said.

Next week will also be the start of the vaccination process for senior citizens between the ages of 65 and 70. 

Up to Friday, February 12, Chile had vaccinated 1.8 million people.
