In December 2020, a survey carried out in the United Kingdom (UK) found that 87 percent of those aged 75 years of age were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine and will take the vaccine as soon as it was offered to them. The highest support for taking vaccination was reported in the oldest age groups who are most at risk from the effects of contracting the coronavirus. On the other hand, 18 percent of those aged between 35 and 44 years said they did not want to be vaccinated and will do their best to avoid immunization, even if they were asked to do so by the NHS.
