A pandemic reveals much about society some surprising, some familiar.
The recent Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research (CHASR) survey tested public waters on the pandemic, in particular those around Saskatchewan residents interest in lining up for COVID-19 vaccination.
Those waters are surprisingly warm. Nearly four of five surveyed (78.8 per cent) said they would likely or very likely get the vaccine
Considering how pandemic leadership and media worked to manage public expectations around how long it usually takes to develop a new vaccine, how quickly the multiple vaccines were developed, and a noted surge in anti-vaccination rhetoric in the social media era, nearly 80 per cent is a fairly strong response.
