| Summary: | The brief outlines the finding from the
second round of a high frequency social monitoring survey
that aimed to assess the impact of COVID 19 (coronavirus)
pandemic on the poorest and most vulnerable rural
communities. The survey also aimed to determine the level of
understanding and source of information of the communities
pertaining to the COVID 19 vaccine. The second round of
phone-in survey was conducted April 4-13, 2021 and across
National Community Driven Development Project (NCDDP,
implemented by community DSWD) communities in nine regions
in Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Some of the views and
observations from the respondents included : Communities

effectiveness and looked to doctors and health practitioners
for information about vaccination plans. Getting vaccinated
would likely be difficult for seniors, persons with
comorbidities, and children because of health reasons.
Communities preferred food, cash, and livelihood assistance. |
