That’s about 1,500 people. “It’s not that we consider them a vulnerable population group, but Yes, it seems like a reasonable request to take into account In the event that the country of origin requires a student to be vaccinated to be able to access it, the university’s vice president for internationalization and cooperation on the public campus, Francisco Beltran, explained this Monday to this newspaper.

There are some students who at the end of August are already going to their Erasmus places or to their residence in Asia or the USA. «AlsoYou’re worried about the fact that a student can leave with one potion set and the second on hold. This can lead to extortion in logistics and the young man himself”, added Beltran.

The issue is already on the table And there was a connection Between the board managed by Sera Repolis and the University of Zaragoza, but for the time being There is no deadline for addressing the problem. “When I raised this in the department I found a receptive environment. I understand that the rapid response, while the vaccination process is going on and there are some plans, we can’t get it. Perhaps it is an issue that is being raised between regions. Anyway, students leave in August, so The sooner we solve potential complications, the betterBeltran noted.

However, Some time ago, at the University of Zaragoza, regardless of the requests of political parties, they were working on the issue of vaccination of Erasmus students. and students residing abroad. “A couple of months ago, I started getting some news or questions about who should go to the United States. In the case of this country, where they have liberalized the vaccines, they will be the ones who will vaccinate the students,” Beltran explained.

It is possible, depending on the dates of the start of Erasmus or the residence, by age Some students are called in for vaccinations in Spain before their adventure begins. Anyway, they hope on campus that you won’t have to wait so long for answers.
