Global attitudes toward the Covid-19 coronavirus vaccine remain divided. According to research by GlobalWebIndex (GWI), a majority, or 66%, of people worldwide stated their willingness to receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
11% of respondents said they would only receive the Covid-19 vaccine if required for work or travel. Furthermore, 12% of respondents remain hesitant to get the Covid-19 vaccine, their greatest fears stemming from caution and anxiety.
Meanwhile, 11% of respondents are skeptical of the Covid-19 vaccine. They refuse to receive the vaccine altogether, believing the relevant institutions to be untrustworthy.
In addition to vaccination, people must continue to adhere to the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands. These protocols can prevent and stop the transmission of Covid-19.
GWI conducted an online survey regarding public attitudes toward vaccines in December 2020. The survey was conducted in eight countries, including Brazil, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
