Uptake of a Covid-19 vaccine

 Q. The Covid-19 vaccine rollout has begun in Australia.

Once a vaccine becomes available to you, how long would you wait before taking it?

	01/03	18/01	14/12	10/08
I’d get vaccinated as soon as possible / I’ve already been vaccinated	50%	42%	43%	56%
I’d get vaccinated, but wouldn’t do it straight away	40%	47%	46%	35%
I’d never get vaccinated	10%	11%	10%	8%
Base (n)	1,074	1,084	1,071	1,010

• With the launch of the Covid-19 vaccine nationwide rollout last week, about half (50%) now say they would get vaccinated as soon as possible – a noticeable rise from the 42% in January. Correspondingly, fewer people now say that would get vaccinated but not straight away (40% to 47% in January).
• 1 in 10 say that would never get vaccinated, consistent with levels seen in the last few months.
