Ipsos MRBI/IPHA COVID Vaccine Tracker - June 2021
Only 4% of people still to decide whether they will get vaccinated for COVID-19, says Ipsos MRBI tracker survey for IPHA
Just 4% of people say they are unsure whether they will get vaccinated for COVID-19 - down by 14 points since January, according to the results of the latest tracker survey by Ipsos MRBI for the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA) which represents the international research-based biopharmaceutical industry.
The number of people who either intend to get vaccinated for COVID-19, or who have already received a vaccine for the disease, has risen to 89%. The results show that 34% of people will take a COVID-19 vaccine. But when combined with those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, or 55% of the sample*, that number rises to 89%.
Between January and June, the number of people who said they either won’t get vaccinated for COVID-19 or were unsure about taking a vaccine has declined. In January, 7% said they would refuse a COVID-19 vaccine and 18% were unsure. This month, 6% overall say they will refuse a COVID-19 vaccine and 4% are unsure.
The results come as people between 35 and 39 can register for COVID-19 vaccination. Last week, the health authorities administered about 320,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
About The Survey
Ipsos MRBI conducted 1,006 telephone interviews with adults aged over 18 between May 31st and June 14th, 2021. The sample was nationally representative for age, gender, geography and social class. *These figures reflect a point-in-time measure of COVID-19 vaccine uptake and they are accurate for the survey fieldwork period. However, the proportion that has received a COVID-19 vaccine is liable to change rapidly as rollout of the vaccination programme progresses.
