The Centre for Social Change (CSC), University of Johannesburg (UJ) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) have published a new research briefing on the publicâs willingness to take a Covid-19 vaccine, and reasons for their decision.
The findings are based on the UJ/HSRC Covid-19 Democracy Survey, undertaken between 29 December 2020 and 6 January 2021, which polled 10,618 participants.
Findings were weighted by race, education and age, and are broadly representative of the population at large. The questionnaire was available in the countryâs six most widely spoken languages.
The findings show that the majority of respondents are willing to take a vaccine.
