SINGAPORE - Two in three Singaporeans are willing to take the Covid-19 vaccine if it were offered to them, with another one in five neutral. However, about half the population still have concerns about the safety and potential side effects of the vaccine, as well as its efficacy.
Among the population, younger Singaporeans are more likely to be concerned about vaccine safety than those who are older, research by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) released on Monday (April 26) has found.
These were among the key findings of a working paper released by the think-tank following a year-long study on the attitudes and sentiments of Singaporeans on socioeconomic issues amid the pandemic.
