Covid-19 Vaccine Survey

Overview

Hackney Council and its partners will be delivering a major communications & engagement campaign in 2021 to encourage residents to get Covid-19 vaccine once it becomes available through the NHS.   This campaign will complement the national campaign.  

Background

Several vaccines are being developed and will be available on the NHS once they have been tested to make sure they’re safe and effective.  It is estimated that this will be sometime in 2021.  

It is likely that the vaccine will be offered to people who are most at risk from coronavirus, before being offered more widely.  The order of priority for a potential vaccine, as far as we are aware at the moment is as follows: 

1. Care home residents and staff
2. 80+ and health and social care workers
3. 75+
4. 70+ and 'clinically extremely vulnerable'
5. 65+
6. 'At risk' groups
7. 60+
8. 55+
9. 50+

There is growing anecdotal feedback of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, which is likely to have an impact on the number of people who take up the vaccine when it becomes available.  As such, we’re looking to carry out some research locally to gather insight to inform our local public health campaigns.  

Your feedback

We would appreciate your feedback on the Covid-19 vaccine and whether you and/ or members of your family are likely to get the vaccine once is it widely available through the NHS.  

The short survey should take about 5 minutes of your time to complete.
