COVID-19 VACCINES

  • 51% of Canadians are not confident that the Government of Canada will meet its objective to vaccinate all Canadians who want a vaccine by the end of September 2021.
  • 69% of Canadians feel that Canada’s delay in delivering vaccines is due more to the federal government’s capacity to obtain doses versus their provincial government’s capacity to deliver the vaccine (14%).
  • Half of Canadians (50%) think the Government of Canada should accelerate the approval of other vaccines that are already available in other countries to help meet its September 2021 vaccination target.
  • If there are further delays in obtaining Health Canada-approved vaccines, about one-in-five Canadians would like to see the Government of Canada seek to approve the vaccines developed in Russia (20%) or China (22%).
  • 14% of Canadians and 29% of Americans do not intend to get a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available.
