Results from a new global survey released today show more than half of those who are unvaccinated in 50+ countries indicated they definitely or probably won’t get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Key reasons for hesitation, according to August 16–31 results from the survey, include:
- Fears about side effects
- A desire to ‘wait and see’ until more people are vaccinated
- Lack of confidence in vaccines’ effectiveness
The latest survey results are in a new dashboard, produced in collaboration by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, Facebook and WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, is powered by data from 12 million+ people from 115 countries.
