Coronavirus Vaccines Stir Doubts Among Many People Worldwide, New Study Shows

A research team from The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by ”la Caixa” Foundation, the City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH), the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), and Georgetown University Law School announced today that Nature Medicine has published their research revealing potential global hesitancy to accept a COVID-19 vaccine.

Based on data collected with the previously validated COVID-SCORE survey of a sample of over 13,400 individuals from 19 countries that have been hard-hit by the virus, the investigators found that 72 % of participants would likely take the vaccine.
