Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 8) With many Filipinos doubting the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines or PHAP says educating the public is key to allaying their worries.
Speaking to CNN Philippines The Exchange with Rico Hizon, PHAP President Dr. Beaver Tamesis says Filipinos lack of confidence in vaccines has long been present even before the Dengvaxia controversy even broke out, noting the dengue vaccine had only intensified people s hesitancy.
Recent surveys revealed many Filipinos are unwilling to get vaccinated against the coronavirus even if doses become available in the country, due to safety concerns.
