covid-19, covid-19 vaccine, vaccine rollout
Q. As you may be aware, distribution of the Covid-19 vaccines is primarily the responsibility of the federal government.
Scott Morrison promised in January this year that 4 million Australians would be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of March. This target was shifted out in March to 4 million Australians by April 26th. As of April 2nd, 750,000 Australians have been vaccinated.
How strongly do you agree or disagree with the following statements?
TOTAL: Agree | TOTAL: Disagree | Strongly agree | Somewhat agree | Neither agree nor disagree | Somewhat disagree | Strongly disagree | |
I’m confident that 4 million Australians will be vaccinated against Covid-19 by April 26th | 19% | 55% | 6% | 13% | 26% | 24% | 31% |
The federal government needs to step up and take more responsibility for ensuring Australians are vaccinated against Covid-19 as quickly as possible | 56% | 17% | 28% | 29% | 27% | 10% | 7% |
Delays in the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines are due to circumstances outside the federal government’s control, and there’s nothing more they could have done about it | 47% | 26% | 15% | 32% | 27% | 17% | 10% |
The slower than expected rollout indicates that the federal government is not doing as good a job as they claimed | 48% | 25% | 21% | 27% | 27% | 16% | 9% |
