Attitudes to Vaccination against Covid-19
More than one in three of the people surveyed would get vaccinated against Covid-19 if they had access to the vaccine, while almost half did not share that intention. A not inconsiderable part of those asked had no firm opinion on the subject yet.

Those respondents who did not want to be vaccinated against Covid-19 were asked for the reasons for their decision. The responses overwhelmingly indicated anxiety concerning side effects, and to a lesser extent aversion to vaccination in general and uncertainty about the effectiveness of the new vaccine.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (366) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
Respondents independently selected one of the following methods:
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 5 and 15 November 2020 inclusive on a sample of 1052 people (43.0% using the CAPI method, 42.4% CATI and 14.6% CAWI).
