GMA launches #JabWellDone campaign to combat vaccine hesitancy

GMA Public Affairs has launched an online advocacy campaign called "#JabWellDone" to encourage more Filipinos to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and address vaccine hesitancy.

The campaign aims to combat vaccine hesitancy by providing answers to frequently asked questions about COVID-19 vaccines and sharing personal stories from vaccinated individuals worldwide, including seniors, medical frontliners, and those with comorbidities.

Despite over 1.5 million vaccine doses administered in the Philippines as of April 20, 2021, a significant portion of the population remains hesitant, with a Pulse Asia survey revealing that 6 out of 10 Filipinos are reluctant to get vaccinated.

Leveraging the Philippines' high social media usage, GMA Public Affairs intends to inform more Filipinos about the government's vaccination programs through the "#JabWellDone" campaign.

The campaign has garnered positive feedback, reaching over 8 million users on Facebook in its first week and receiving numerous testimonials through its official hashtag.

Various GMA News and Public Affairs personalities, along with Kapuso employees, have publicly shared their vaccination experiences on social media to support the initiative.

The "#JabWellDone" campaign seeks to empower Filipinos to make informed decisions about their health and vaccination.
