not available

Stada Group has published the results of the second international survey 
conducted in 12 countries (including Serbia) with more than 24,000 respondents.

Although the survey covered several topics, one of those that has caused a lot 
of discussion across the continent is the possibility of mandatory vaccination.

The survey showed that a total of 82% of Europeans support this idea and that 
the number of supporters in all countries clearly exceeds the skeptics.

When it comes to the attitude of Serbian citizens about vaccination, 78 percent 
of Serbians support mandatory vaccination, which is slightly less than the 
general average of 82 percent in all 12 European countries, which puts Serbia 
in ninth place in terms responding positively to this question, ahead of 
Russia, Austria, and Switzerland.

Serbians are also below average in terms of knowing against which diseases they 
can be vaccinated. However, Serbian citizens are among the nations that are 
least likely to mistakenly believe that there is an AIDS vaccine - only 4 
percent thought so, compared to 6 percent overall in the poll.


What do we think about coronavirus vaccine?


In a survey dedicated to coronavirus that Stada conducted after the general 
part of the poll, 42 percent of respondents expressed concern about the lack of 
a vaccine against this virus. By comparison, 50 percent of respondents fear 
that their loved ones will become infected with the virus and die.

When it comes to Serbians, they showed a certain fearlessness, as the authors 
of the study called it: one in six respondents said they did not worry about 
the pandemic at all, while compared to Italy and Russia, only 27 percent of 
respondents in Serbia said they were worried about economic consequences and 
job loss.


Doctor Tiodorovic talks about coronavirus vaccine

Branislav Tiodorovic told Objektiv

  that he estimates about 350,000 to 400,000 people will be vaccinated in 
Serbia.

"The vaccine will be mandatory for chronic patients (cardiovascular, pulmonary, 
endocrine-diabetic, as well as all with those with reduced immunity - for 
example, oncology patients), people over 65, due to a natural decline in 
immunity, health workers, because they must be protected in order to treat 
others. Similar to indications for influenza vaccination. About 350,000-400,000 
people will be vaccinated, which corresponds to the previously listed 
categories," the epidemiologist said and stressed that Serbia will never force 
anybody to get vaccinated.


Will you get vaccinated against coronavirus?
