The University of Johannesburg’s Associate Professor of Sociology, Carin Runciman, has attributed the decline in vaccine hesitancy in the country to the success of some of the public health messaging.

She says, “There’s some encouraging news. The younger people who have been dealing with more vaccine hesitancy have now shown declining figures by 16% points. And that is quite considerable. There are encouraging signs that also suggest that some of our public health messaging is working and many other people who were resisting being vaccinated are starting to shake some attitude.

Vaccine hesitancy among White adults, who in previous rounds of the survey were the most vaccine-hesitant group, has declined by 18% points although the levels of hesitancy within this group remain higher than among Black African or Indian and Asian adults. Furthermore, the report demonstrates important inequalities in vaccination coverage that cannot be explained by corresponding levels of vaccine hesitancy. Indeed, variations in vaccination appear to mirror wider socio-economic inequalities.
