Vaccinate for life

An upside to the pandemic? A rise in vaccine confidence.

The Covid-19 pandemic has boosted parents’ confidence in vaccines, not just for their children but also for themselves, according to a recent GSK survey.

Parents are balancing risk of Covid-19 infection against benefits of routine immunisations.

This conflict, between parents wanting to get their children vaccinated but not wanting to attend a traditional location for this, was uncovered in a recent survey by GSK.

"Do you want a vaccine with that?" Could drive-through facilities for routine childhood immunisations be the future?

The UK’s parents are pro-vaccine and would have been willing to visit untraditional locations to have their children receive their routine immunisations during lockdown, a GSK survey has found.
