Abstract
- Dear Editor, in their article, Garcia and Cerda [1] found a relatively high vaccine acceptance rate (90 6%) and stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has not only had a negative impact on people’s health and life behavior, but also on economies around the world Chi-squared and z-tests showed that the percentage of willing people is significantly higher amongst those who agree with the statement “I have the primary responsibility for preventing the infection by COVID-19” (63%) when compared with those who disagree (42 6%) [ ]our data showed that the percentage is higher amongst those people who agree that preventive behaviours are an act of social responsibility (64 1%), when compared to those who don’t agree (24 9%) In our opinion, developing a COVID-19 public vaccination program should start from considering people’s attitudes to engage them in an educational campaign focused on fostering the citizens-science alliance Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper
