PAUL PEREYRA/ Hot News Channel (HNC)/ CEO
Hahaha. (I would rather choose) Moderna, Pfizer and Oxford. No Sinovac please or even the Russian brand. I don’t trust the communists. The other vaccines have higher efficacy rates compared to Sinovac whose Brazilian clinical trials only showed 50.4% effectivity. I just released Sen. Lacson’s criticism on the vaccine procurement in HNC.

LERSLY ANN GONZA/ Beauty Queen
I don’t want to be vaccinated, especially if it’s a Chinese vaccine. If it’s needed, I would prefer the vaccine from US, if available. Since the first case of Covid originated from China, it’s hard to trust them especially if we’re talking about health. I can’t risk my life.

ROLAND AMILA / Singer-Composer
Di pa ko sure. I have a niece and a nephew who are doctors, kon magpatuplok sila, mosunod lang pud ko. But with or without vaccine, morag ok ra man pud ko. Taastaas na man pud tag edad. I guess I’m ready for whatever consequences there may be. I just so trust the Lord that much-- His will be done. Pero according to my friend, Dr. Nandy Maniwan, it’s gotta be Pfizer para sigurado. Pfizer is the maker of Viagra. Makabuhi man gani kuno og patay. Haha...

GLADYS GOCHAN / “Modern Day Renaissance Woman” awardee
Okay ra man ko sa China vaccine or any brand. Kana kon sure na gyud ha nga effective na ug safe ra maybe that’s the time nga magpa-vaccinate ko. Lisud kaayo magpadalosdalos. Maniid lang sa ko kay basin naa pa nay mga side effect.

NARCISO CHAN / Curve Entertainment/CEO
I would pick Pfizer from US. Why? Because of Dr. Fauci. Bilib ako sa kanya. Dr. Anthony Fauci is an American physician and immunologist and one of the world’s leading experts on infectious diseases and one of the most trusted medical figures in the United States.

EDGAR ESCALANTE / former TV Patrol-Central Visayas news reporter
Wait and see lang sa ko unsay resulta sa mga unang mabakunahan aning Sinovac. I’m not 100% nga mo-trust sa Sinovac tungod sa iyang low efficacy rate. As of now mas mo-prefer ko sa Pfizer.

CASSANDRA YU / Pilot Trainee/ Model
Getting vaccinated for Covid-19 for me is a social and moral responsibility-- so YES, I am very willing to get vaccinated given that the vaccine that I will be getting is proven safe and effective. As of today, I would choose the vaccines developed by Pfizer and AstraZeneca over Sinovac since they have high efficacy and they have very good safety profiles. I’d rather not risk it since I am the type of person who gets a lot of allergies.

MELDE MONTAÑEZ / Lead actor sa pelikulang “Patay na si Hesus”
Honestly, wala pa jud koy idea since lain-laing news ang nanggawas wala lang sa ko nibasa to avoid lang negative thinking. Pero if a vaccine is proven and approved, by science and all, and brings more benefit than harm, magpa vaccine ra jud ko.

SOL EUGENIO / Choreographer-Netflix Actor
I trust China-made SinoVac-Coronavac. I believe Chinese experts are capable of developing an effective and safe vaccine. I also feel safe with inactivated whole virus type vaccine than the other experimental ones. So yes, I don’t mind getting a SinoVac to protect me from coronavirus even if some say it’s only 50% effective.
