COVID-19, a new poll suggests — with one in 10 saying they definitely won’t get the shot.The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found 82 per cent of the 1,000 adults surveyed have either already been vaccinated or are awaiting their appointment.
That bodes well for a high level of immunity among the Canadian population, particularly if those who are unsure can be convinced to get the jab.“If you can get up to 90 per cent (of the population inoculated) in any jurisdiction, I think most epidemiologists would say we’re doing pretty well,” said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.Yet the poll also found mixed enthusiasm for various incentives that could push people to get vaccinated, including cash lotteries and time off.
