Two thirds of British willing to take coronavirus jab as soon as it
A survey of 2,000 adults revealed only 17 per would refuse to take it, with 19 percent stating they were still unsure. Fewer than one in 10 (eight percent), of those aged 55 or over, would decline the vaccine when it is offered to them. However, almost a third (31 percent) of those, aged 25 to 34, don’t think they’ll take it. The speed at which the vaccinations have been developed have resulted in 71 percent regarding its fight against Covid-19 as one of science’s greatest achievements.
The survey, by Medicspot, also looked at how people who didn’t want the vaccine could be incentivised to take it.
A fifth (20 percent) said they would be vaccinated if they were paid, while 19 percent would if it meant they could go to the pub.
More than a third (35 percent) would take it if it meant they could go on holiday abroad, and 28 percent would agree to it if it meant they could go to sporting, music or other events.
Dr Johnson D’souza, medical director at Medicspot, said: “In the space of one month we’ve had three vaccines announced, which has been an incredible achievement from everyone involved in the fight against Covid-19.
