But despite their worries, 91 percent have either braved it and had the vaccine or are preparing to have the jab to fight back against the disease. The research was carried out by private Covid testing company Medicspot as thousands of youngsters answered calls to get vaccinated at Twickenham rugby stadium on Bank Holiday Monday. A number of ‘anti-vaxxers’ tried to put them off having the Pfizer jab, but their calls were met with a short shrift from the enthusiastic crowd.

This was reflected by the survey, which found that 76 percent have had their first jab, 15 percent haven’t but will when they get invited. Just seven percent said they didn’t want the vaccine.

However, 77 percent are concerned about misinformation being spread about the vaccine online.  

“It’s no fun being scared of needles but so many people have put aside their worries to be vaccinated and their courage should be applauded.

“It was fantastic to see thousands of young people queueing in the hot weather on a Bank Holiday to get their vaccine. The UK’s world-leading vaccination campaign and uptake is something to be very proud of.”

The study also found 88 percent of those polled think the vaccination rollout has been a success, with 93 percent saying they’re pleased they’ve had the jab.

And three quarters (78 percent) are looking forward to enjoying summer when restrictions are planned to be eased.  

However, there are potential tensions which could be on their way.

The survey, carried out by OnePoll for Medicspot, found that 74 percent are worried the people who haven’t had the vaccine will force the government to introduce more restrictions.

Two thirds (63 percent) are concerned vaccinated members of the public will become frustrated with those who have turned down the vaccine if the government introduces new restrictions.

And seven in 10 say those who are eligible to be vaccinated but haven’t, shouldn’t be allowed in the UK.

To encourage take-up amongst the more sceptical members of the public, 41 percent think the government should be giving vaccinations in pubs, while 20 percent feel those with concerns should be paid to have the vaccine.

A spokesperson for Medicspot added: “The vaccines are safe and the vast majority of people think they are the way back to a normal life.

“It looks like it’s a race between the vaccines and the variants, so it’s vital we continue to follow official advice and get the jab when the opportunity arises.”
