COVID vaccine hesitancy waning; gov't-people cooperation cited
Malacañang attributes the significant decrease in vaccine hesitancy among Filipinos to successful information campaigns and increased accessibility of COVID-19 vaccines.
A late 2021 Social Weather Stations survey revealed that only 8% of adult Filipinos were unwilling to get vaccinated, a sharp drop from 18% in September 2021.
This figure is also considerably lower than previous surveys, with only 21% expressing skepticism in June 2021 and 33% unwilling to be vaccinated in May 2021.
Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles highlighted the collaborative effort involving the media in disseminating accurate information, the government ensuring vaccine supply and accessibility across all regions, and the cooperation of the public.
