The introduction of COVID-19 vaccination passports in Ukraine is supported by just over a quarter (27%) of citizens, and not supported by a third (34%), according to a survey by Research & Branding Group conducted on April 23-30.
At the same time, another 30% of the country’s residents are indifferent to the introduction of “vaccination passports” and 9% have not decided.
The highest level of support for the introduction of a “vaccination passport” is noted among residents of the western region and young people under 30, and the lowest – among residents of the southern region and the age group over 60, among whom are most of those who are indifferent to the issue.
At the same time, 44% of Ukrainians consider the use of a “vaccination passport” for travel abroad justified, while 4% and 3% of respondents consider the use of a “vaccination passport” for public events and trips in Ukraine justified, respectively. At the same time, 16% of Ukrainians justify the use of a “vaccination passport” in all aspects of everyday life, and 3% consider it completely unnecessary.
Most of those who consider it justified to use a “vaccination passport” primarily for foreign travel are among residents of regional centers, and least of all – among representatives of the age of 60 and over and rural residents. In comparison, residents of the eastern region are more likely to consider the “vaccination passport” for travel across Ukraine to be justified. The majority of 50-year-old Ukrainians advocate the use of the “vaccination passport” in all aspects of everyday life.
The survey was conducted by the method of personal formalized interview (face-to-face) among 1,804 respondents over 18 years old in all regions controlled by the government. The sample represents the population of Ukraine by gender, age, type of settlement and region of residence. The maximum error does not exceed 2.4%.
