Abstract

“And so, being a mother, I too was alarmed.” These were the words a mother said after having to hear news on many individuals, including children, passing away after being vaccinated. This illustrates a demonstrated experience of vaccine hesitancy. There are many studies and research conducted on how people experience vaccine hesitancy, but few investigate the factors contributing to vaccine confidence now that many individuals have already overcome their hesitancy. This study looks into the experiences of Filipino people in overcoming the vaccine hesitancy they experienced and how they regained their trust in vaccines after the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This research aims to examine the motivations of the majority of Filipino individuals who opted for COVID-19 vaccination and the underlying factors affecting their choice. To achieve this, a descriptive research design was used, and the data were gathered through one-on-one interviews with respondents who fit the criteria and were found through purposive sampling. The results revealed that a big contributor to vaccine confidence is how news broadcasting channels and most especially medical workers, communicate with them. Good communication, such as properly informing or reaching out to them, helped a lot. Overall, the study contributes to how healthcare workers can help and make efforts in communicating with patients to properly inform them about important matters regarding health.
