AnaKalusugan Rep. Michael Defensor said more Filipino will likely be more receptive to COVID-19 vaccination if it will be done through their corporate health maintenance organizations (HMOs).
“We would like to believe that corporations are trusted by their employees, so they will be more inclined to get vaccinated if it is coursed through the clinics of their HMOs,” said Defensor.
He said HMOs could also help employers and the government explain the benefits of inoculation.
“Government will need the help of the entire private corporate sector if we want to rapidly immunize a larger portion of the population. This is absolutely imperative if we want to reopen more sectors of the economy and avert further job losses,” Defensor added.
A survey by the Pulse Asia Inc., showed that only 32 percent of Filipinos are willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 while 47 percent are not, with the remaining 21 percent still undecided.
A separate survey conducted by OCTA Research Group indicated that only 25 percent of Filipinos are willing to be vaccinated.
