Malacañang was elated at a recent poll that more than half adult Filipinos expressed confidence in the government’s evaluation of the Covid-19 vaccines.

In a nationwide survey conducted from April 28 to May 2, SWS found that 51% of adult Filipinos are confident with the Covid-19 vaccination program. 31 percent said they are uncertain, while 17 percent are not confident.

“Nagagalak kami na tumaas na ang ating vaccine confidence to 51 percent. Sa katunayan, talagag nakakaimpluwensya sa kumpiyansa ng ating mga kababayan yung katotohanan na yung kapitbahay nila ay nakapagpabakuna na,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Friday.

Roque said the government will launch a “massive infomercial campaign” to encourage those reluctant to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Nagagalak po kami na [31] porsyento ang dapat kumbinsihin pa kaya nga po magkakaroon tayo ng bagong massive infomercial campaign. At dun sa 17 percent, hindi pa rin po tayo mag give up diyan dahil importante po lahat ng Pilipino eh mabakunahan,” he added.

“Isipin naman natin na walang kahit sino, Pilipino o dayuhan man, ang magbibgay ng (emergency use authorization) kung hindi po ito ligtas at epektibo.”
