A decrease in vax reluctance indicates that the PH response is on the correct track: Palace

According to acting presidential spokesperson Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, the government’s pandemic response is moving in the “correct route” to restore normalcy, as seen by a decline in Covid-19 vaccination reluctance.

Only 5% of adult Filipinos do not wish to be vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the latest statistics from the OCTA Research Group’s Tugon ng Masa national poll, which was conducted on December 7 to 12 last year. This is down from 22% in September 2021.

Only 2% of adult Filipinos have contracted Covid-19 infection despite being fully vaccinated, according to the OCTA report.

In a statement, Nograles stated, “This is unequivocal evidence that Covid-19 immunizations protect us, our loved ones, and our communities from the virus.”

He went on to say, “It also highlights that immunization is a step in the right path in our efforts to restore normalcy.”

In total, 125,089,117 vaccine doses have been delivered in the Philippines, with 58,149,158 Filipinos now fully immunized and 6,851,138 eligible persons receiving booster doses.

“Having said that, as part of our goal to inoculate 90 million Filipinos by the end of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s term, we will continue to explore different methods to make vaccines more accessible to our people โ€” such as the Resbakuna sa Botika Drive and the We Vax as One Mobile Vaccination Drive for Transport Workers,” Nograles said.

Vaccine apprehension is still highest in Visayas and Mindanao, with 9 percent each, followed by National Capital Region and Balance Luzon with 3 percent each, according to the same OCTA poll.

The Palace previously stated that local leaders’ ability to persuade their constituents of the safety and effectiveness of all Covid-19 vaccines is critical in addressing vaccination hesitancy in their individual localities.
