Covid-19 Vaccine Opinions Survey, September, 2021: Secure Access

<p>The <span style="font-style: italic;">COVID-19 Vaccine Opinions Survey</span> (VOS) is a follow up to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Opinions and Lifestyle Survey</span> (OPN) (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 8635), and questions those specifically who reported hesitancy towards the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. The survey has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to identify changes in attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, and the factors and interventions that may have influenced initially hesitant people's decision to get a vaccine. <br><br>Survey content for this study has been developed in consultation with DHSC, Cabinet Office and National Health Service (NHS) England. The survey was carried out using an online survey by the Office for National Statistics. The sample was based on 4,272 adults in England who took part in the OPN (over the period 13 January to 8 August 2021), specifically those who indicated hesitancy or uncertainty towards getting or who had refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. These respondents had previously provided consent to be re-contacted for future research. The responding sample contained 2,482 individuals, representing a 58 per cent response rate. This is a one-off survey and currently there are no plans to carry out a second wave.</p>
