TTwo in three people said they would likely receive a Covid-19 vaccine when one is available, according to the research.
Nearly one in 10 people said in a survey that they were unlikely to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, while 27 percent said they were not sure they were immunized.
The findings, published in the journal Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, are based on a demographically representative sample of 1,500 adults in the UK.
The aim of the research, conducted by a team from Keele University and King’s College London in collaboration with Public Health England, was to obtain a broad picture of the expected uptake of a future Covid-19 vaccine.
As part of the study, the researchers looked at associations between intention to get vaccinated when a jab is available and sociodemographic factors such as age, race, ethnicity and education.
The team found that those who had previously been vaccinated against the flu, older people, those with more positive vaccination beliefs and attitudes, and people who perceived a higher risk of illness were more likely to receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
