Public perception of vaccine
[edit]Through a study done on the population of Turkey's perception of the COVID-19 vaccine, it was shown that only 62.7% of participants had a positive perception of the vaccine. Specifically, those with previous experience with COVID-19, those with bachelor's degrees or higher, and those with experience with influenza vaccines were more likely to have a positive perception of the COVID-19 vaccine. Older people were more likely to have a negative perception of the vaccine.[4]
