Just 4% of people would be opposed to getting the jab

88 percent of adults say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new study.

The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association survey found just 4 percent of the population wouldn't get an injection, with the remainder unsure.

This survey from the IPHA and Ipsos MRBI has shown interest in vaccine take-up as improved since the start of the year. Nearly 9 out of 10 people have either got or would get a vaccine, which is a 13 percent rise since January.

On the other hand, just 4 percent say they wouldn't get one, which is down from 7 percent. Director of Communications at the IPHA Bernard Malee says it shows the public are trusting the science.

However of those who said they wouldn't get a vaccine, 1 in 10 were in the 25-34 age cohort. Professor of Biochemistry at Trinity College Dublin, Luke O'Neill, isn't surprised.

The number of people who were unsure of getting a vaccine also dropped to 7 percent, compared to 18 percent in January.
