Over 50% of Israelis would not agree to be vaccinated against COVID-19
(Worthy News) -More than half of Israelis (52%) say they “think they would not” or are “convinced they would not” be vaccinated against the coronavirus if a vaccine becomes widely available, according to a new survey by the Israel Democracy Institute.
The survey found that less than one-quarter (21%) of Israelis would agree to be vaccinated during the first round, and another 18.7% “think they would agree.” The rest of the population said they did not know.
The survey was released following two American and one Russian company – Pfizer, Moderna and Russian Direct Investment Fund – announcing that an interim analysis of their Phase III clinical trials found more than 90% efficacy. Israel has contracts to receive several million doses of both the Moderna and Pfizer candidates, if successful. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
