Recently, the Ministry of Health & Wellness is conducting a COVID-19 Vaccine survey to assess the attitudes of people living in Saint Lucia towards the COVID-19 vaccines and to determine their willingness to be vaccinated.
The survey uses a modified version of the Pan American Health Organization Vaccine questionnaire. The Ministry hopes to capture a cross-section of the population aged 18 years and older. The survey will be administered using the Survey Monkey platform. The survey will be distributed through the Digicel and Flow mobile communication platforms from Monday, February 15 to Monday, February 22, 2021.
