Abstract
This study purposely aims to determine the fundamental factors influencing the CoViD-19 vaccine uptake in the Province of Basilan. The 3Cs theoretical model i.e. convenience barriers, complacency barriers and confidence barriers forms the baseline of this study. Factors which accounted to a person's hesitancy to accept vaccination despite its availability were similarly discussed. Snowball technique, a nonprobability sampling method was adopted to obtain the 225 samples drawn from the target population. Moreover, to profoundly discuss the motives and/or reasons for hesitance, a personal interview was conducted to target participants whose responses were transcribed and curtailed to fit the scope of the study. An adopted questionnaire anchored on the Sage Technical Working Group Report (2014) was constructed via Google Forms and deliberately administered using the available online platforms i.e. Facebook and Gmail. The salient findings of this study suggest that complacency and confidence barriers were among the factors attributed to respondents' refusal to accept vaccination. Past vaccination experiences were also found to have influenced the respondents' decision to either accept or reject the CoViD-19 vaccine.
