DOH addresses vaccine hesitancy in Calabarzon

- Macon Ramos-Araneta

THE Department of Health (DOH)– CALABARZON together with the concerned local government units (LGUs) of Laguna and Rizal provinces started its house-to-house campaign to address the vaccine hesitancy through localized informatio­n disseminat­ion.

Regional Director Eduardo C. Janairo underscore­d the importance of the right informatio­n to ward off vaccine hesitancy and misinforma­tion being received by eligible recipients.

He warned that the delay in the acceptance or refusal to accept the vaccine despite its availabili­ty is a threat not only to the individual but to the family and community as well.

The campaign targeted barangays in the two provinces with high vaccine hesitancy rate.
