The public's trust in the COVID-19 vaccination program is still a problem, especially in the Philippines. Many have suggested that the government and even healthcare workers should exhaust all their efforts to educate the public about the nature of the vaccines. However, rebuilding public trust is not only a governmental concern, but should also be taken as a personal responsibility. Thus, this paper argues that mindfulness through critical thinking is a necessary key in boosting the vaccination program.
公众对 COVID-19 疫苗接种计划的信任仍然是一个问题,尤其是在菲律宾。许多人建议政府甚至医护人员应该竭尽全力向公众宣传疫苗的性质。然而,重建公众信任不仅是政府的关注点,也应该被视为个人的责任。因此,本文认为通过批判性思维保持正念是推动疫苗接种计划的必要关键。
