COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Index
Tracking trending and emerging attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination.
The Vaccine Hesitancy Index provides a live view of trending and emerging attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination on social media. As vaccine hesitancy hinders successful control of the pandemic, the index provides critical insights for public health organizations to change attitudes and increase uptake.
With more than 4 million deaths and nearly 200 million reported cases worldwide as of July, 2021, efforts by the scientific community and pharmaceutical industry are only one part of the solution. The pandemic's path will largely be dictated by peoples' attitudes towards physical distancing, protective measures, and vaccination in particular.
The vertical dashed line indicates the date that the World Health Organization declared the pandemic. The horizontal dashed lines indicate the mean score in 2019.
