“The hope is all but it will all depend on the willingness of the person and supply of the vaccine,” Undersecretary for Planning, and Human Resource and Organizational Development Jesus Mateo told the Manila Bulletin on Monday, June 7.

Mateo was responding to the inquiry whether or not the agency has set any target on how many personnel will be vaccinated against COVID-19. “Note that vaccination is at the level of LGU and the IATF protocol,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Mateo said that based on current data available, there are 8,160 DepEd personnel who were already vaccinated against COVID-19. There are also 3,387 personnel waiting “to be vaccinated.”

Asked if how many of the said number are already fully vaccinated and how many were able to get their first doses, Mateo said that the data is not yet available.

Meanwhile, DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del Pascua said that the department’s Bureau of Learner Support Services (BLSS) and School Health Division (SHD) is “still integrating the vaccination data” in COVID-19 Monitoring System and “compiling the master lists” prepared by Schools Division Offices (SDOs).

The initial information, the BLSS and SHD said, is expected to be generated around the third week of June 2021.

Based on the data provided by DepEd’s Planning Service there are 986, 852 authorized positions in the department as of February 2021.

DepEd said that of this number, 862, 108 hold teaching positions; 62, 465 hold positions related to teaching; and 62, 279 non-teaching positions.

Of this number, DepEd also noted 51 percent are personnel under the age bracket of 20 to 39; 45 percent are ages 40 to 59; and four (4) percent are ages 60 and above.

DepEd has been urging its employees to register to their respective LGUs so their vaccination against COVID-19 can be processed in time for their turn in the government’s priority list.

Education frontliners are under the A4 category, which is a prioritization set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) for vaccine to frontliners and skeleton workforce employees in essential sectors like education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
