Are you currently 18 or older and a Massachusetts Resident? We want to hear from YOU

The Academic Public Health Volunteer Corps has developed a survey designed to assess the Massachusetts general public’s feelings towards the COVID-19 vaccine and what underlying factors are associated with these feelings especially now as the vaccine is becoming available to the public. Building upon the MDPH Vaccine Hesitancy survey from December, results from this survey will be used to determine the types of materials the public would like to know regarding the vaccines going forward- adjusting if necessary, from what we are currently working on . They will also be used to assess the best methods in which these materials can be disseminated. The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. All people over 18 and who live in or are residents of Massachusetts are encouraged to take the survey.
