COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rises in some countries: study
COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rises: survey
Willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine is on the rise compared to 2020, a survey of six industrialized countries published on Monday showed.
The survey also covered Germany, Japan and Sweden where a similar trend was clear, it said.
"As vaccine rollouts commence, higher numbers of people in all countries say they would take the vaccine," the study said.
The highest percentage was found in the UK with 89 percent of those questioned in favor of taking a vaccine, up from 70 percent in December 2020.
In Sweden, the rate was 76 percent against 53 in December 2020. In the US 64 percent against 58.
While in Germany 73 against 63 and in Japan 64 against 50.
France was the country in the study with the least enthusiasm at 59 percent, but favorable opinions about vaccines were still sharply up from the 40 percent level seen in December 2020.
Some people were, meanwhile, highly critical of the vaccine rollout in their country.
While 76 percent of Britons surveyed felt their government had gotten the rollout speed "about right," that percentage fell to 32 percent in the US, 28 percent in Germany and Japan, 22 in France and only 20 percent in Sweden.
