Still, there is some unease amid the joy. Pollster Angus Reid Institute this week reported a “notable” jump in the proportion of Canadians who say they will seek to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Just under half of those surveyed (48 per cent) Dec. 8 to 11 said they would immediately get the vaccine as soon as one becomes available to them, up from 40 per cent one month ago. Another 31 per cent were more cautious, indicating that, yes, they would get vaccinated eventually, but that they will wait a bit. Seven per cent were unsure, and 14 per cent said they had no intention of getting inoculated, a figure that has remained mostly static, with those in Alberta (27 per cent ), Saskatchewan (21 per cent) and Manitoba (19 per cent) the most likely to say they want no part of the shots.
