EYECARE: Coronavirus BRIEFING: The Latest COVID-19 Data Most Eyecare Professionals Interested in Getting COVID-19 Vaccine By Staff Wednesday, January 6, 2021 1:00 PM A Women In Optometry Pop-up Poll that was launched prior to the availability of any COVID-19 vaccines and stayed open through New Year’s Day shows that a majority of respondents were planning on (or had already gotten) a COVID-19 vaccine. When asked if they were planning on getting the vaccine when it became available, the largest cohort was anxious to do so, with 41 percent saying “absolutely” and that they were already in conversations about it (and some later respondents even saying that they had received it or scheduled theirs already.) Another 22 percent said that they did want the vaccine but had not been following the developments as carefully. Just more than 14 percent said they were still unsure, but leaning toward yes. However, more than one-in-five respondents expressed that they were not planning on getting the vaccine, with just more than 14 percent saying no and eight percent saying maybe but leaning toward no.
