Vaccination program needs massive, vigorous information campaign

FREEPIK
A recent survey of the Octa Research Group indicated that only 46% of adult Filipinos are willing to be inoculated with a vaccine that would protect them against serious illnesses caused by the coronavirus. Octa is a polling and research group of experienced experts and academics with interdisciplinary backgrounds.
The resistance to anti-coronavirus vaccine has tremendous implications on the Department of Health’s objective of inoculating at least 70% of the population to achieve herd immunity — when the great majority of the people have been immunized to the coronavirus, thus preventing its further spread. With only 46% immunized to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the other half of the population remains vulnerable to the coronavirus, the number of deaths is likely to rise.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida’s largest hospital system said it was on track to immunize nearly 20,000 health care workers against COVID-19 as Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday announced a delay in hundreds of thousands of doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
But DeSantis said the first batch of the Moderna vaccine — 370,000 doses — could begin heading to his state as soon as this weekend and would allow wider distribution of the medicine to hospitals across the state, pending federal authorization.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller was among the first Cabinet members to get the vaccine. He traveled to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Monday and was given the first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine.
While Miller was there, a number of the medical center’s front-line healthcare staff were also receiving the first of the two-shot regimen. It was the first day of the vaccine’s nationwide rollout.
Other high-ranking Pentagon military service leaders are expected to get the vaccine as soon as next week, in an effort to encourage the military force to also get shots, and to show that it is safe. Currently, getting the vaccine is voluntary within the military.

INDIANAPOLIS — A coalition of some of Indiana’s top hospital systems is warning that facilities are struggling to cope with the surge in COVID-19 patients — a sobering reminder that the coronavirus is still spreading quickly in the state despite the arrival of a vaccine.
With COVID-19 patient numbers hovering above 3,000 for nearly a month, Indiana hospitals are treating more than four times as many as they were in September and are worried they soon could get overwhelmed.

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging elected officials to “step up” and encourage wary Americans to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Republican leader said that as a childhood polio survivor, he’s a “huge supporter” of being vaccinated.
