>>Is there any feeling in Chile that the wrong vaccine has been bought or much /any significant vaccine hesitancy?
My sense is that there is not much in the way of vaccination hesitancy though there is still lots of conspiracy talk about how COVID-19 is a Government invention. However, it seems to me that those beliefs are not strong enough to keep anyone out of the vaccination rooms.
Certainly as they lower the age that may get vaccinations each day then the centres are getting busier and busier. (Bearing in mind that the lower the specified age then the more there are in that group.
There is increasing concern about the vaccine. But what can they do? If they decide to go out and buy a first world vaccine now there is one hell of a waiting list.
#1 daughter got the Pfizer vaccine, but she is the only one I know of that who has been offered anything other than Sinovac.
Chileans generally don't have very inquiring minds. They are generally likely to accept what is put in front of them unless there is a more attractive conspiracy available. They rarely consider that someone is simply wrong and just choose between the truth and a lie.
My personal feeling, perhaps hope, is that it is a timing thing. That it takes longer to protect people and it is younger people who are getting sick.
We shall see.
