Following the recent re-emergence of COVID-19 in the Auckland community and as New Zealand prepares to commence rollout of a vaccine, thereâs a segment of the Kiwi population vehemently opposed to being vaccinated. Opinion Compare, a leading market research agency and part of NZ Compare, asked a representative sample of n=500 Kiwi adults 18+ âÂ
Once a vaccine for Covid-19 becomes available in New Zealand, how long would you wait before taking it?â
Iâd get vaccinated as soon as possible:Â Â Â Â Â 38%
Iâd get vaccinated but wouldnât do it immediately:Â Â Â Â Â 46%
Iâd never get vaccinated:Â Â Â Â Â 16%
While thereâs demographic differences in stated vaccination adoption â those more likely to put their hands up to be vaccinated are male, 55+ and living in the South Island â itâs their views on the past 12 months and 2021 outlook that sees the most differences.
