New Taipei requires students to go through 2-day online classes after vaccination 新北學生接種後線上授課2天  北市不跟進

Taipei City offers 3 days for pupils suffering adverse side effects but does not make online teaching mandatory. 

Presenter: The CECC announced today two new cases related to a cluster infection involving the Delta variant of COVID-19 at a kindergarten in New Taipei City, leading the number to 32. Meanwhile, students between the ages of 12 and 17 will start getting BNT vaccines next week. In New Taipei City, students will attend classes remotely for two days after getting vaccinated. Taipei City, meanwhile, is granting three days off for students.

Junior high school students between the ages of 12 and 17 will start getting BNT vaccines next week. In New Taipei City, students will attend classes remotely for two days after getting vaccinated with additional time off if they experience side effects.

Parent:”I don't work. Of course, I hope my child can get enough time off school after getting the vaccine. If I worked, I wouldn't be able to get time off and I wouldn't know how my child is.”

Around 170,000 New Taipei City students at 127 junior high schools, high schools, and vocational schools will get vaccinated between Sept. 22 and 30.

Hou Yu-ih, New Taipei City Mayor:”We want students to be able to rest at home, so there will be classes online. This is a win-win situation. Our students' health is the most important thing.”

Taipei City, meanwhile, is giving students three days of vaccine holiday. If any students have to stay home or any classes have to be suspended, online classes will be available.

Tsai Ping-kun, Taipei City Deputy Mayor:”Three schools are going with [remote learning] after vaccinations. One school is going with one day of remote learning. Two schools are going with two days of remote learning. This is the format we will be going with after the first dose. Students that need to take time off should take time off.”

Tsai Ping-kun says the city wants to give schools flexibility and the room to make their own decisions.

下週開始，校園BNT疫苗即將開打，接種對象為12至17歲的國高中生，新北市考量學生接種後身心的變化，接種後全校居家線上授課2天，如果有不適，還可以請疫苗假，不列入出缺勤紀錄，引發家長討論。

家長：「我不是一個上班族，我當然希望我的孩子在打疫苗這期間能有充分的休息，如果我今天是一個上班族，我又不能請假，我不知道我的孩子是怎樣。」

新北市127所國高中職，大約有17萬名學生符合接種資格，22日開始入校施打，預計30完成疫苗接種，面對接種後，家長的不同意見，新北市長侯友宜再次說明。

新北市長 侯友宜：「是以線上教學為主，最主要是讓孩子們健康能夠在家好好休息，這樣子才能夠一舉兩得，兼顧照顧學生最重要的健康。」

新北市接種完後居家上課兩天，台北市不跟進，讓學生可以請三天疫苗假，如果有學生或班級需要個別停課，都可以使用線上教學。

台北市副市長 蔡炳坤：「有三所學校有提出說接種完疫苗之後，有一個學校先做一天的居家授課，有兩所學校他要做兩天的居家授課，第一劑的接種我們就先以目前這種方式來處理，需要請假的就請假。」

蔡炳坤透露，當時各縣市在討論時對新北市的政策比較保留，也讓各個學校有一定的彈性和自主空間。
