The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world in unprecedented ways, and the race to develop and distribute vaccines has been one of the most significant global efforts. Panama, a country in Central America, has been no exception to this trend. Here are some insights into the trends and development of the COVID-19 vaccines market in Panama.
Customer preferences: Panamanians, like many other people around the world, have shown a strong interest in getting vaccinated against COVID-19. According to a survey conducted by the Panamanian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, and Agriculture, 70% of Panamanians are willing to get vaccinated. However, there is still a portion of the population that is hesitant or skeptical about the vaccines' safety and efficacy. This group includes people who believe in conspiracy theories or misinformation about the vaccines.
Trends in the market: The Panamanian government has been actively working to secure COVID-19 vaccines for its population. The country has agreements with several vaccine manufacturers, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson. The first vaccines arrived in Panama in January 2021, and the government has been rolling out a vaccination campaign since then. As of August 2021, around 1.8 million doses have been administered in the country, and around 30% of the population is fully vaccinated.
Local special circumstances: Panama's location and demographics have made it an attractive market for vaccine manufacturers. The country is a hub for international trade and transportation, with the Panama Canal being a crucial route for global commerce. Additionally, Panama has a significant expat community, including retirees and workers from the United States and Canada. These factors have made Panama a priority market for vaccine distribution.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Panama's economy has been severely impacted by the pandemic, with a contraction of around 17% in 2020. The government has implemented several measures to mitigate the economic impact, including stimulus packages and tax breaks. The successful rollout of the vaccination campaign is crucial for the country's economic recovery, as it will allow for the reopening of businesses and the resumption of international travel. Additionally, the government's efforts to secure vaccines have helped boost confidence among investors and businesses in the country's resilience and ability to recover from the pandemic's effects.
