Many Europeans fear coronavirus vaccine – Reuters
Residents of European countries were asked about their confidence in the vaccine against the new type of coronavirus infection.
Many residents of European countries are skeptical about vaccination against the coronavirus. In general, people are alarmed by the time vaccines against the infection have been developed and released. According to the Europeans, work on a vaccine should continue for more than a year. On Sunday, December 27, writes Reuters.
For example, company polls in Poland showed that, at the moment, less than 40% of the country’s residents plan to get vaccinated. Only half of the staff at the Warsaw hospital signed up, where the country’s first vaccine was administered.
In Bulgaria, 45% of residents said they would not be vaccinated, another 40% plan to wait to make sure there are no negative side effects. According to a survey by Alpha Research, less than one in five Bulgarians in the priority group plans to voluntarily vaccinate.
In Sweden, where public trust in the authorities is high, as in other Nordic countries, two out of three people want to be vaccinated. However, some say no.
Reuters recalls that an IPSOS survey in 15 countries, published on November 5, showed that 54% of the French would be vaccinated against COVID if it were available. This figure was 64% in Italy and Spain, 79% in the United Kingdom and 87% in China.
A more recent IFOP survey, which had no comparative data for other countries, showed that only 41% of people in France are ready to get vaccinated.
Let us remember that on December 27, a mass vaccination campaign was launched for the population in the countries of the European Union. Vaccinations will reportedly begin in several EU countries on December 27, 28 and 29. France, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Austria and Spain are the first to start vaccination.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said they are considering three ways for Ukraine to receive a COVID vaccine: the COVAX program, a request to sell or transfer a surplus of the drug from other countries, and an agreement between the government and the manufacturer of the vaccine. directly.
