Harrogate researcher finds two-thirds will take vaccine
A poll conducted by researchers in Harrogate has found that two-thirds of people will take the coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available.
The YourPoll survey found 67% said they would take the vaccine and 26% said they would not. The remaining seven per cent were undecided.
Of those who said no, 15% thought coronavirus was a hoax. The rest of the responses highlighted safety concerns and the need for further testing.
The snap poll of a random sample of 439 UK people was conducted in the three days prior to the first coronavirus vaccine on December 8.
Priority groups in the Harrogate district are expected to start receiving the jab this week, although details have not yet been confirmed.
