Research into vaccination readiness and vaccination policy preferences in the Netherlands

News - 03 July 2020 - Webredactie

A vaccine against COVID-19 is currently being developed. To achieve group immunity, a vaccination rate of about 75% is required. Together with Erasmus University Rotterdam and Maastricht University, Niek Mouter of TU Delft will investigate whether the Dutch are willing to vaccinate and what their preferences are for policies to stimulate the population's willingness to vaccinate. RIVM and VWS are also involved in this study. The research uses representative choice experiments, which were previously used to map preferences about corona relaxation measures and a corona app.

The research is funded by the COVID-19 Response Fund of TU Delft.
