Researchers also find that young people overall are more reluctant about receiving a vaccination
Young black people are far more hesitant about being vaccinated against Covid-19 and are less likely to trust doctors than the rest of England’s population, according to researchers who found that young people were more reluctant overall about receiving a vaccination.
A survey of nearly 4,000 young people aged between 13 and 20, carried out for academics at University College London and the London School of Economics, found that nearly a third displayed what the researchers called “vaccine hesitancy”, ranging from 9% who said they would “definitely not” be vaccinated for Covid to 22% who said they were “unlikely” to be vaccinated.
