SECRETARY ANDANAR ON THE RECENT STATEMENT OF SENATE PRESIDENT VICENTE SOTTO III ON THE COVID-19 VACCINE COMMUNICATIONS We sympathize with Senate President Vicente Sotto III’s recent statement that there is an apparent apprehension among Filipinos to get vaccinated, which is why the PCOO has been intensifying its communications campaign to further educate and enlighten Filipinos on the government’s vaccination program.

The challenge of the lack of understanding in this regard remains a widespread problem. This gets further complicated with misinformation and disinformation by some individuals and groups who claim that vaccination is not an ideal and safe option for virus immunization. However, with clear and concise communications and information drives,
knowledge and clarity on the matter will be achieved.
