Luma members were invited to participate in a poll to collect their opinion about Covid vaccine in Thailand.   
The survey was performed online in January 2021 on more than 300 Luma members in Thailand.

**To "Would you get the Covid-19 vaccine if generally available?": 57,5% of the respondents replied they would get vaccinated immediately**; 37% would rather wait; and only 5% answered they did not want the Covid vaccine at all. 

Among the sample who indicated they'd rather wait to be vaccinated, 2/3 would rather wait to be vaccinated among the 2nd or 3rd group, and 1/3 would wait as much as possible until the vaccine is required (to travel for instance).

**Regarding top reasons for getting the Covid vaccine, respondents indicated it would be to #1- Protect oneself and prevent virus spread; and #2- Be able to travel.**

 

**Half of the respondents indicated they would accept to receive the Covid-19 vaccine at a private hospital**; 18% at a private clinic; 18% at a Government recommended vaccination center; and only 8% at a government hospital

 

Regarding side effects, survey reveals **Luma members were more concerned about long-term side effects (55%) than short-term side effects.**

 

**When asked whether they have a preference for the** **type of vaccine technology used: 44% have a preference for mRNA vaccine** (Pfizer or Moderna); 25% for vectored vaccine (Astrazeneca); 5% for traditional vaccines (Sinovac or Sinopharm). **However, 26% of the respondents declared they did not know. **

 

**Last, regarding the Covid vaccine cost: Half replied they would be willing to pay out of pocket to receive the vaccine if the cost were not covered** by the Government nor by their insurance (Covid Vaccine Insurance for instance). 39% indicated they could consider paying themselves if the cost was reasonable.

To "How much would you be willing to pay to get the vaccine?"; 60% would be willing to pay if the cost were between 1,000 THB and 4,000THB; 20% would be willing to pay above 4,000 THB. **Respondents also indicated they would be willing to pay for a faster access to the vaccine** (57,5% of surveyed people).
