COVID vaccine acceptance rising in a few countries: study
02 March, 2021
Willingness to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine is increasing when compared with this past year, a study of half a dozen industrialized countries published on Monday showed.
More people in Britain, America and even vaccine-skeptical France now accept the thought of obtaining a coronavirus jab, KekstCNC, a global consultancy, said in the survey conducted in February.
The survey also covered Germany, Japan and Sweden where a similar trend was clear, it said.
"As vaccine rollouts commence, higher numbers of individuals in every countries say they might take the vaccine," the analysis said.
The best percentage was within the UK with 89 percent of these questioned in favor of going for a vaccine, up from 70 percent in December.
In Sweden, the speed was 76 percent against 53 in December, in the U.S. 64 percent against 58, in Germany 73 against 63 and in Japan 64 against 50.
France was the united states in the analysis with minimal eagerness at 59 percent, but favorable opinions about vaccines were still sharply up from the 40 percent level observed in December.
Some individuals were, meanwhile, highly critical of the vaccine rollout in their country.
While 76 percent of Britons surveyed felt their government had gotten the rollout rate "about right", that ratio fell to 32 percent in the U.S., 28 percent in Germany and Japan, 22 in France in support of 20 percent in Sweden.
People in the half a dozen countries judged that Israel and Britain had done the world's best jobs using their vaccine rollout.
The novel coronavirus has killed at least 2,526,075 people since it emerged in China in December 2019, according for an AFP tally compiled from official sources on Weekend.
AMERICA is the worst-affected country with 511,998 deaths.
