RE: The state of vaccine confidence in 2018
Wonderful post!
For FRA, I can confirm that even their medical workers don't have enough confidence in vaccines. No comment...
State of mind in POL reflects the overall tendency of "building the walls".
For SWE it would be nice to hear some Viking, maybe @scandinavianlife if he's still active.
And I'm happy to see green arrows for ROM!!!
Hey thanks! Yes very worrying, it’s likely this this is a signal of a much wider general distrust of governments. If the distrust spreads wide enough it can even infects those working in systems themselves
Romania have done a great job to recover confidence recently. They were quick to notice the issue and took it very seriously. Something going on with religious beliefs though. Do you know if there is much of an anthroposophic community in Romania? This group has really taken off lately and are the main reason in the UK for people saying that vaccines are not compatible with their religious beliefs
How 'bout Cyprus? Was that in the survey?
It was, although this was the first time so no way of assessing change since 2016. A full 1000 respondents through, so a good sample size. Here’s the main results of interest. Vaccines in general look good but safety an importance of the seasonal influenza vaccine is a little concerning.
I guess my seasonal flu practice is typical of my island.
