Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>EXECUTIVE director of health and social services Ben Nangombe says only 47 pupils in the Kunene region have received a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Kunene region has 25 019 primary school pupils and 7 925 high school pupils.<\/p>\n

There are 1 148 teachers in the region, Nangombe says.<\/p>\n

Of those pupils aged 13 to 14 only 30 have received a third dose, while of those between 14 and 17 only 17 have been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Nangombe says 11 schools in the Opuwo area have been reached, 14 in the Khorixas area, and eight at Khorixas itself.<\/p>\n

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, 1 163 pupils and 120 teachers in the region have tested positive for Covid-19, Nangombe says.<\/p>\n

“Children are also at risk of being infected with Covid-19.<\/p>\n

“They need to be vaccinated so that immunity is built up and their bodies are prepared to recognise and react to Covid-19 once it enters their bodies,” he says.<\/p>\n

Nangombe says the general public, individuals and families are encouraged to adhere to Covid-19 public health measures and get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Director of education for the Kunene region Annalize Jantze says: “Parents are encouraged to give consent for their children to be vaccinated. It will be the best to protect our pupils.<\/p>\n

“Pupils should opt for the vaccination to protect themselves.”<\/p>\n
