About 80% of surveyed British Columbians said they were somewhat or very likely to take a recommended COVID-19 vaccine.

Key findings

Overall, 79.8% were somewhat or very likely to vaccinate when available and recommended. Respondents skewed female, white, and highly educated, mean age about 52.

Methodology

A population-based survey in British Columbia measured intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and examined predictors among index and household respondents.

Limitations

Intention precedes uptake and the sample over-represents women and higher education, so generalisability is limited.

How this study connects

Role on claims

Each row is a claim on a concept or method page where this paper supports, challenges, or qualifies the statement. Roles are hand-checked — not a model guess.

  • SupportsVaccinationconcept

    Overall, 79.8% were somewhat or very likely to vaccinate when available and recommended. Respondents skewed female, white, and highly educated, mean age about 52.

    Evidence for the claim as stated.

  • SupportsMixed-Effects Modelmethod

    Not every mixed-effects paper is an mHealth outcome trial. A British Columbia COVID-19 vaccine-intention survey found 79.8% somewhat or very likely to vaccinate; respondents skewed female, white and highly educated, with mean age about 52. Household clustering can justify random effects, but intention is not uptake and the sample is not a random draw of the province.

    Evidence for the claim as stated.
