A global survey on attitudes towards coronavirus COVID-19 vaccinations revealed that people from Hong Kong have become more willing to take the newly developed vaccines. As per the survey conducted in May 2022, about 91 percent of the respondents from the financial hub said that they had either received or would take the coronavirus vaccines. In comparison, the same survey conducted in the early 2021 revealed that Hong Kong's public readiness was among the lowest group in the 24 countries or regions covered, and only results from France and Poland had a lower willingness to take the shot compared to Hong Kong.

*The source conducted surveys on a regular basis on the topic. A new question wording was introduced in June which has improved accuracy on the number of people saying they have taken the vaccine.
New survey question changed since June 6, 2021:
How would you describe your personal situation regarding COVID–19 vaccines?
I have received all the injections required to be fully vaccinated against COVID–19
I have started the vaccination process, but need another shot
I plan to get vaccinated
I will not get vaccinated
I’m not sure about getting vaccinated
Figures refer to the share of respondents who chose the first three answers.
Original survey question prior June 2021:
If and when a Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine becomes available, will you get vaccinated?
