Héctor Ruiz Mejía – The return to basic education classes has presented a new challenge, since a considerable percentage of teachers in the municipality of Jocotepec could not be vaccinated because they arrived with cold symptoms and were suspected to have contracted Covid-19.

Although a total of 2,494 doses of the Moderna biologic were applied during the last vaccination day for teachers on January 12, out of the approximately 3,000 doses available, most of the vaccinated teachers were NOT from Jocotepec.

Medical personnel from the Jocotepec Health Center, who were in charge of this vaccination day, confirmed that a considerable percentage of those vaccinated were from Guadalajara.

They also pointed out that, although no figures were specified, there was a considerable percentage of Lakeside teachers who could not be vaccinated because they had symptoms, as in the case of the J. Vicente Negrete school, located in El Molino.

The principal of the school, Mayra Berenice, stated that at least 20 percent of her teaching staff did not return to classes, as they were sick and some of those had not been able to get vaccinated due to their illness.
