A NEW study reveals that a large percentage of people globally are hesitant to take a Covid-19 vaccine if and when it is made available.

In June 2020, researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) conducted a survey in 19 countries that have been hard-hit by the virus to determine potential acceptance rates and factors influencing acceptance of a Covid-19 vaccine. The results of the study that were released at the recent virtual 51st Union World Conference on Lung Health, show that less than 50 percent of the respondents were totally agreeable to take a “proven, safe and effective vaccine.”
