Trust in Oxford-AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccine take a toll among Canadians: Survey

Canada's expert panel on vaccines upset numerous doctors and health professionals this week when they expressed a preference for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

But a new survey from Proof Strategies suggests lots of Canadians feel the same.

More than eight in 10 people say that vaccines are safe and effective when asked specifically about Pfizer-BioNTech, and almost as many for Moderna.

But trust falls to under 50 per cent for both Oxford-AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.

Proof President Bruce MacLellan says weeks of warnings about a new and rare blood clotting syndrome have clearly taken a toll.
