The Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey results released on Monday, May 24, found that at least three in 10 Filipinos prefer Sinovac and Pfizer as their brand of vaccines.
During the survey conducted from April 28 to May 2, 2021, SWS asked 1,200 adult respondents, “If you could choose the brand of vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines, which of the following would you choose?”
Respondents were provided with a list of 10 FDA-approved vaccines, presented in random order, and were allowed to choose more than one.
Topping the list were China’s Sinovac Biotech (39 percent) and US brand Pfizer-BioNTech (32 percent), followed by United Kingdom’s Oxford-AstraZeneca (22 percent), and US brand Johnson & Johnson (10 percent).
