Numbers That Agree To Take Vaccine

| December 07, 2020

If a vaccine for COVID-19 were available right now, would you get it?  If you aren’t quite sure, you’re not alone—more than a third of Americans stated the same thing.  Analytics firm Ipsos looked at survey data from around the world and found that western Europeans and Americans were the least likely to jump at the chance to get a vaccine—about 65%, with the French population being the most skeptical at just 54%.  In contrast, India and China led the way with the percentage of people ready to get the vaccine right now.  Over 85% of Chinese and 87% of Indians were ready to roll up their sleeves at the first opportunity. A curious feature of the data is that most countries exhibited a decrease in the number of citizens eager to get vaccinated between surveys taken in August and again in November.
