“That person belongs to the age group of 25 to 44 years. From more numerous households with children, both minors and adolescents. More often it is a person with a lower income, a lower level of education. More often it can be a person who works in commerce and services The unemployed or housewives are also more common.
People’s opinions are conservative, they are less likely to accept innovation. They are less likely to be exposed to the disease in the immediate environment, more often they respond that they do not know a single person who has or has had coronavirus ”, summarized Asta Ivanauskienė, project director of Asta Ivanauskienė, the results of the investigation.

“The highest level of panic was during the first quarantine, that is, in April of last year, and 24 percent of people who were concerned about the virus.
Anxiety levels have plummeted since the quarantine was launched. It is interesting that when the second quarantine arrived, people no longer panicked like that, in December there were 12% who were very concerned about the situation, “says a representative from NielsenIQ.

More vaccination
The study revealed that 58 percent. people would agree to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The proportion of the population undecided is 16 percent. Achieving herd immunity requires that at least 90 percent of the country’s population have immunity.
According to medical experts, to achieve herd immunity, it would be necessary to have at least 90 percent. the country’s population would have acquired immunity, vaccinated or sick. To control the coronavirus, 60-70% societies must have immunity, so a similar number must be vaccinated.
At this point, if we had enough vaccines, staff, and other tools and vaccinated as many as they wanted, we would get closer to the percentage that would help control the coronavirus. But it is still not possible to speak of herd immunity ”, says A. Ivanauskienė.
