The survey found 80%, or four out of five vaccinated adult Filipinos say they would surely (73%) or probably (7%) get a booster, while another 7% said they were unwilling to receive an additional shot and remaining 13% of respondents said they were uncertain at the time.
Those respondents who received at least one dose at the time of the survey were asked: “Kung magrerekomenda ang Department of Health o DOH ng “booster dose” o karagdagang bakuna ng COVID-19 vaccine para sa mga taong nabakunahan tulad mo, kayo po ba ay (Showcard: Siguradong magpapabakuna; Malamang na magpapabakuna; Hindi tiyak kung magpapabakuna o hindi; Malamang hindi magpapabakuna; Siguradong hindi magpapabakuna)?”
This is the first time the SWS fielded the question in its quarterly survey and the December 2021 survey period had a base of 50% of adults with at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
