Poll: Two-thirds of Czechs want vaccine, almost fifth strongly against

Two-thirds of Czechs wish to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, suggests a poll conducted by the Median agency for Czech Radio and published on Monday. Some 19 percent of respondents in the survey said they were strongly against being inoculated against the virus.

Two-fifths of Czechs would prefer to receive the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine if given a choice, the study indicates. Next most favoured is the AstraZeneca vaccine, with 27 percent.

Only 1 percent would like to get China’s Sinopharm vaccine, which Czech President Miloš Zeman has requested supplies of, reportedly at the request of the Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
