The Willingness to take the COVID-19 Vaccine - Prof Carin Runciman
The Centre for Social Change (CSC), University of Johannesburg (UJ) and the Developmental, Capable and Ethical State (DCES) research division of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) released a research briefing on the public’s willingness to take a Covid-19 vaccine and reasons for their decision. Findings show that:
67% of adults would definitely or probably take a vaccine if it was available.
18% of adults would definitely or probably not take a vaccine.
These findings come from the latest round of the UJ/HSRC Covid-19 Democracy Survey, undertaken between 29 December 2020 and 6 January 2021. It was conducted online using social media adverts to direct potential participants to the survey and #datafree through biNu’s Moya Messenger app. It was completed by 10,618 participants. Findings were weighted by race, education and age, and are broadly representative of the population at large. The questionnaire was available in the country’s six most widely spoken languages. 15% of adults did not know.
