The results made public on Friday showed 64% of 1,500 adult respondents said they would get the jab. "It is twice as high as the 32% in May 2021, when SWS first surveyed about it," the local pollster said. SWS noted an increase in vaccine willingness across education accomplishments. This month, inoculation czar Carlito Galvez Jr. said they are targeting up to 1.5 million vaccinations per day in the hopes of a better holiday season in the country.
