Currently 38 percent. people who are not yet vaccinated declare that they want to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccine (“definitely yes” and “probably yes” responses combined), which means the same result as a week ago.

In the context of fears of contracting the coronavirus, we observe a slight increase in the declared anxiety last week – currently 3 percentage points more people admit that they are afraid of being infected (an increase from 36% to 39%). There is still a predominance of people declaring no fear of the coronavirus compared to those who still feel the threat.

Coronavirus: What are the sources of information about the vaccine?

Poles, when asked where they know about the COVID-19 vaccine, first mention large news portals (eg TvoiLokony), private TV stations and public television. Sources such as independent websites and blogs, specialist and scientific press, and social media were placed next.

It is worth noting that the level of vaccination varies significantly depending on the sources of knowledge used by Poles. The vaccinated people are most often those who get their knowledge from private TV stations, specialist and scientific press, and large news portals. In turn, the lowest percentage of vaccinated people is characterized by people who mentioned YouTube, social media, and independent websites and blogs as their sources of knowledge about the coronavirus.
