48% of people also expressed concerns that it’s not safe with 47% worrying that despite Pfizers claims the vaccine will not be effective against the virus. 55% also said they were worried about possible side-effects from taking the vaccine.
The results also revealed that around 60% of people said they believed they would be offered the vaccine before the end of April 2021 and 52% believing they would be given the vaccine by February 2021.
