CALGARY (660 NEWS) – A new poll shows Albertans feel the least informed about COVID-19 and are more likely to share fake news.
The poll, done by the Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF), showed that Canadians who follow the news at least once a day are more likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it’s available compared to those who don’t consume news regularly.
The survey found 61 per cent of those polled would get the vaccine right away, compared to eight per cent who said they will not.
