According to a new survey, over 40% of Singaporeans aged 55 and above do not plan to receive a booster dose.
SINGAPORE: A new survey conducted by vaccine manufacturer Moderna and survey company YouGov has uncovered a significant decline in the willingness of Singaporeans, particularly those in the older age group, to receive booster doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
According to the survey findings, over 40% of Singaporeans aged 55 and above do not plan to receive a booster dose, reflecting a growing reluctance to continue with further vaccinations. The data reveals a shift in public perception towards COVID-19 vaccination. The proportion of people who believe that booster doses are unnecessary has increased, with 51% of survey respondents expressing this sentiment.
A notable finding from the survey is the age group most resistant to continued vaccination. Respondents aged between 35 and 54 showed the least interest in getting booster doses, indicating that this demographic is increasingly skeptical of the ongoing need for COVID-19 vaccinations.Compared to last year, fewer people this year view the coronavirus as a moderate-risk disease. Conversely, there is a rise in the number of individuals who consider COVID-19 to be low or very low risk.
