The result of the survey, wherein 49 percent of policemen replied ‘No’ on a question ‘Do you want to be vaccinated against COVID-10’, served as the basis for the intervention of the Philippine National Police to encourage its men to be inoculated, according to Lt. Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, Deputy Chief for Administration.
Using an application exclusive to all PNP personnel which is called PNP CODA , videos and fact sheets from the Department of Health and other scientists about the benefits of vaccination are regularly posted to educate both the uniformed and civilian personnel on how the vaccine works and its benefits amid the continuous threat of infection from the deadly virus.
On Monday, Feb. 22, Eleazar disclosed during a press briefing at Camp Crame in Quezon City that the figure rose to 70.14 percent as of Monday morning, or before the press conference. Through the PNP-CODA, any PNP personnel could change their answer anytime. As such, the PNP monitors the result of the survey question almost every minute.
