If by the start of the school year, on March 2, there is a large percentage of children and adolescents vaccinated, the government is considering rejecting the CPE Resolution, which proposes weekly swabs for teachers and virtual classes for students who were not vaccinated.
It would be a reversal of a measure that underhandedly requires the Health Pass to attend face-to-face classes, and that was adopted only in Santa Cruz and Formosa, since this was not included at the national level.
“The specific issue is that we have an official vaccination schedule that is required to enter schools, so that children are vaccinated and their receipt, and the obligation that Pediatricians have is to indicate vaccination, and parents have the responsibility to Let the boys apply it. They are required vaccines, that is, we are obliged to demand that they be placed, ”said Dr. Horacio Córdoba, Pediatrician, president of the Santa Cruz Medical College.
These are all the vaccines that exclude COVID-19, which is not mandatory for now.
But the doctor pointed out that, as a Pediatrician, in the case of the Coronavirus, the recommendation -in the midst of a pandemic that has not ended- “is that children be vaccinated.” “The more vaccinations, the more face-to-face, it is elementary,” he stressed.
In his office, he said, he observes that “many people are informed by what is published on social networks” and do not vaccinate their children.
“We explain that vaccines for children under 11 years of age have all biosafety because they practically have no adverse reactions,” he said. What can happen, she clarified, are local reactions, such as headaches, fever, which are the same reactions “as the vaccines on the schedule.”
“It is very important that parents accompany and vaccinate their children because that way it will allow us to get out of the pandemic, because if parents are vaccinated, why don’t they vaccinate their children?” he asked.
In his office, he found parents who have “up to three doses applied” but who “do not want to vaccinate their children.”
“I tell them that, if you sleep peacefully vaccinated, that they do not vaccinate their children will not let you sleep peacefully. The vaccines are the same, and we must understand that they are safe, beyond specific cases that have a specific contraindication, that the child does not want to be vaccinated because ‘I heard it out there’, ‘because I read’, ‘because they told me’… You have to consult a doctor and see that more than 40 million people were vaccinated, so how can it be that we do not vaccinate children? I don’t get it,” she warned.

For March
The health professional recalled that two years ago “there was no horizon” about what would happen with face-to-face classes and that there were almost two years without classes, something totally different from the current context with millions of vaccines available. “The vaccine is the only way to give the child more coverage at school, for attendance, because if I am afraid of the vaccine, then I should be more afraid of sending the child to school without vaccinating. I put myself in the role of father and I should be more afraid if I don’t vaccinate my son and send him to school”, he analyzed.
He repeated that the vaccine allowed fewer deaths, serious hospitalizations, so “an unvaccinated child is at risk.”
“If a car travels 150 km along the road, you have two possibilities, whether or not you have car insurance. If you don’t have insurance, you take a risk because something could happen to you, but if you have insurance, you minimize the risk,” he exemplified, and stressed: “It is more risky to send my unvaccinated child to school than to send him vaccinated.”
