Health by Melissa Iaria 15th Apr 2021 2:46 PM Young women are the most reluctant group in Australia to get the COVID-19 jab, a new study has found. The Australian National University study also suggests that if young women have been turned off by the government's handling of sexual harassment allegations, they could "well turn off engaging about vaccination". Forty-three per cent of young women reported they were willing to get vaccinated as soon as possible, based on the survey of 3030 people. But this was lower than the more than 60 per cent of the rest of the population who wanted the jab as soon as they could get it, the nationally representative study on Australian attitudes towards vaccines found.
