    DescriptionA recent survey undertaken by the Clinical Research Network West Midlands (CRN WM) has highlighted key issues with vaccine uptake which its authors hope will influence government policy on vaccine hesitancy.

    It is believed to be the largest and first cross-sectional survey in the UK to examine the various factors influencing the uptake of a potential approved COVID-19 vaccine. On Tuesday 8 December, the UK became the first official country to roll out a national Covid-19 vaccine programme, so these results are timely.

    The Uptake Study: Insights And Beliefs Of The UK Population On Vaccines During The Covid-19 Pandemic was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Wolverhampton and Birmingham with the support of the Clinical Research Network West Midlands (CRN WM) and The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (RWT).
