Amidst concerns over potential side-effects, a recent survey has found “moderate support” among the general population for COVID-19 vaccination and the need for accurate information to be shared on the subject in order to build trust.
“The survey does not provide evidence of widespread support for the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the data, 60.2% of the general sample either agreed or strongly agreed that it was important for everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccine once available,” the report of the COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy Survey says before adding that this can be interpreted as moderate support among the general population and special categories for COVID-19 vaccines.
The survey notes that 68.0% of respondents from the general sample said that they would take the COVID-19 vaccine if it is introduced in the country.
