About 58% of Spaniards would now accept to get vaccinated against COVID-19, compared to the 20.2% recorded just three months ago, according to a survey conducted by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Fecyt), released by the country’s science and innovation ministry.
According to the results of the fresh survey, 58.1% of Spaniards said they would get vaccinated “tomorrow” if they could – a far cry from the 20.2% who were “pro-vaccine” in the previous survey published last October.
Meanwhile, the percentage of citizens who “would not get vaccinated at all” has plummeted from the worrying 32.5% three months ago to just 8.7%.
The survey was carried out from 4-22 January as the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine were mainly being administered to the elderly and healthcare personnel. During that time, there were also problems in distribution.
