Response from ep.education

We support the education sector vaccine mandate and encourage all educators we work with to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

We know that vaccines are safe and effective, and a high rate of vaccinations will help to protect staff and students from getting sick and passing COVID-19 onto others. We encourage all school leaders and staff to continue to promote the need for vaccinations. In addition, we are working on our internal system to manage these new requirements.
