Africans View COVID-19 Vaccines As Less Safe Than Other Vaccines-Devex

A survey report released this month on perceptions of inoculation in 15 African nations found that in almost all of them, respondents tended to view new COVID-19 vaccines as less safe than other vaccines. Only Ethiopia — with the highest proportion of people willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine, at 94% — was an exception. There, 14% of people deemed vaccines unsafe in general, while just 12% thought COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe. Devex, 03/25/2021
