Article Synopsis
- Antiviral treatment, like Paxlovid, can effectively reduce COVID-19 impact, but its usage isn't optimal in Singapore, despite full subsidies for certain demographics.
- A survey conducted in 2022 revealed that 54% of respondents knew about Paxlovid, with 75% willing to take it if prescribed but only 38% willing to request it without a doctor's prompt.
- Awareness and acceptance factors included age, education, trust in healthcare providers and government, perceived risk and severity of COVID-19; major concerns for non-acceptance were side effects, costs, and viewing COVID-19 as mild.
