Among the reasons respondents gave for not wanting the vaccine were concerns about its safety and potential side effects, while some said they did not trust vaccines in general.Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says authorities need more information about those who are worried about or opposed to a vaccine to ensure they have the proper information about how vaccines are approved.
She says while efforts are being made to accelerate development of a vaccine, the federal government will not take shortcuts when it comes to ensuring the safety of a COVID-19 vaccine before it is approved and distributed. Tam says she is concerned about misinformation spread online about vaccines, adding internet and social-media companies should have a responsibility to police their domains to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Some 172 countries are engaging with the COVAX facility designed to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, the World Health Organization said on Monday, but more funding is needed and countries need now to make binding commitments.
Nobody trusts the Canadian government!!!
“The survey also indicated younger Canadians and those who don’t have a university degree are more likely to be hesitant or nervous about a vaccine than those who are older and more educated.” This looks like a shaming, intimidating technique by the media.
There is no vaccine yet. And there won’t be one for at least a year or so. And after it’s been tested and passed by medical authorities, rather than pushed through by political pressure, then MAYBE I’ll try it.
I will wait for the first ten million to get it.
There is no vaccine to worry about.
I trust in Canada
Don't get me wrong, my family is completely up to date on our vaccines and I think they're valuable. However, I have yet to see anything about COVID19 done well. So that combined with the line 'rushing to develop a vaccine' is enough for me to say 'I'll pass thank you very much'
Worried about the safety of the vaccine! They could be worrying for nothing. I advise them to wait for a vaccine, if ever there is one.
No Made in China vaccine for me Thank you
They can’t get the flu shot right,what makes you think this vaccine will be any better
As they bloody well should be!!
not worried one bit
Public health agencies and schools have utterly failed us during this pandemic on every single front. They have been found completely clueless, from something as simple as the role of masks, to neutralizing fake news and building trust when most need it celliottability UofT
Only 36 million are worried, 'some Canadians'
Of all vaccines🤷🏻♀️But Theres no other way to move past this pandemic
Where is the survey? What’s sample size and population? Otherwise, it’s useless result
They are still settling class action lawsuits for the vaccine produced for the swine flu. That vaccine was also rushed to market and proved to have some very serious side effects.
We won’t be receiving it and we are far from being anti vaccine There has been to far too much exploitation and manipulation of this pandemic by politicians, health organizations and media The focus has been almost entirely on their own gain Suspicion is warranted at this point
A vaccine is not necessary! Restrictions are not necessary! Report the fact that the virus hasn’t been isolated and testing is invalid therefore a fear tactic! Report the harms and the true science or get bent!
