In earlier correspondence, the authors have explored the vaccine hesitancy among the Filipino public. But I argue that the current situation from the ground has already been seeing shifting attitude of many Filipinos toward the government’s vaccination program. There is a significant increase of confidence among the public in getting inoculated. This development is crucial in hastening the achievement of the so-called herd immunity.
