Summary: Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected the world and our country. One of the keys to the Philippines' fight against this COVID-19 pandemic was using the COVID-19 vaccines against it. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Specifically, it aimed to determine the perceptions and reasons for vaccine acceptance and factors affecting it in terms of the socio-demographic profile, such as age, current residence, religion, sex, civil status, highest educational attainment, socioeconomic status, co-existing medical condition, employment status, occupation and source of information on COVID-19 vaccines. A non-probability convenience sampling using social media as the source of participants in the study. A total of 3,097 participants were included in the study. A self-made self-administered online questionnaire was designed to adapt to the setting of the culture in the Philippines. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyzed the data collected. The determination of factors affecting vaccine acceptance was analyzed in the univariate and multivariate statistics. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used in the univariate analysis, including the. Odds ratio and the 95% Confidence interval. Multinomial logistic regression was utilized in the multivariate analysis with a level of significance set at alpha=0.05. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used in the analysis. This study showed that less than 2% of the population are hesitant to COVID-19 vaccination. Main reasons for vaccine acceptance, among others were benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweighing the possible side effects, importance of everyone eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine and that people trust the healthcare workers in advising them to get the COVID-19 vaccine. On the other hand, the top reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy were individual's fear of the side effects of the herein vaccine, reading news regarding people dying from the said vaccine and that the respondents do not trust the COVID-19 vaccines. The result of our study also showed that the leading factors that were significantly associated with vaccine acceptance were religion, educational attainment, family economic status, and fear influence. During COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, the population of people with vaccine hesitancy was very minimal; and factors that were significantly associated with vaccine acceptance were religion, educational attainment, family economic status, and peer influence.
