Canadian Vaccine Release
A national sounding of the Canadians by Maru/Blue Public Opinion finds that despite Prime minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to have a majority of Canadians vaccinated by September 2021, a majority (55%) of Canadians expect to be able to do so by the end of June 2021.
Despite a majority (57%) believing the Trudeau governments vaccine roll-out plan is being made up on the fly, even more (67%) conclude that it is succeeding in getting the vaccine to Canadians as soon as possible. One third (36%) of Canadians would take vaccine immediately, while one in six (16%)—equivalent to 4.8 million Canadian adults—have no intention of getting a shot in the arm, and others (48%) bide their time to assess its safety or use.
