How many people will take up the vaccine?

[Elcantador]

Im just curious what do people think- what percentage of the UK population will take up the vaccine?
I was talking to my brother who lives in a vaccine sceptic country and he said the estimates are that 65-70% will want to take it up there.
What is the figure for the UK?
I was reading an article about the uptake in the over 65s- very high , over 99% in some areas and only about 70% in some London boroughs.
I couldnt find an article on what % of the overall adult population will end up taking it up? I only found 1 article dared last december saying 72%. No recent articles though

Anecdotally, from the people I know well enough to speak to, 100% of my village, the adjoining small town and several surrounding villages will be taking it up. Not sure where we are now, but we were over 50% several weeks ago (and highest rate in the country)

75% ish will take it regardless

15% will complain about Bill Gates but take it because of events, jobs, holidays, they secretly think it's the best idea but will still say it's all about loss of freedom and nanobots!

10% won't because of Bill Gates or they have a true, real absolute medical reason they can't.

Imo the low rates in london may also be
Fraud - claiming benefits etc when the person is out of the country or dead etc
Travel - generally there will be a lot of people abroad.
My relative is still registered at england gp despite being abroad as is her partner etc.

Maybe they need to look at the person's health activity if they dont respond to vax invite.

Others have probably just got incorrect details or changed phone or address etc

It's 95% here but 10 miles down the road in the city it's around 75%. Our gp is behind the national rollout, still on group 6 because nearly everyone says yes. Where I used to live they are doing 30's now because the government allocates by population, but lots of over 50's/cv have refused

In Surrey our uptake rates are very high.

There was an ONS survey a few weeks ago which said 94% of adults would definitely or probably have it.

My guess is around low 90’s % of adults overall, with the uptake being very high in upper age groups and more affluent areas and lower in lower age groups and (very sadly IMO) in poorer areas and minority communities, since those are the very people more likely to be exposed and seriously affected.

If/when vaccines are rolled to children, I dunno. Maybe 50%, hopefully rising in time.

My views are based on the fact I believe the vaccines are a) safe; b) highly effective; c) the only way to get any sort of normal social interaction back with hundreds of thousands more deaths.

95% in my area so far.

100% of adults still only equals 77% of UK population

The current U.K. average is around 75% which is easily good enough. It’s much higher in the most at risk groups which is also what we need. A recent survey suggested something like 90% of adults will now have it which is amazing if true..

I agree with a PP, I do think those who are sceptical or ‘I’m not being a guinea pig 🙄’ will have it if they bring in vaccine like passports or suggest that you don’t need to isolate on close contact if you are vaccinated. Peoples own self interests will prevail in my cases.

Went I went for my vaccination I heard the staff say 'just about everyone has turned up' I'm in the over 50s category.

I know a lot of people (two jobs, my friends, DH has a large circle of friends, most with spouses, neighbours). I only know three who want have it. Apparently uptake around here was initially over 99%, so I'm thinking around 95% will have vaccine in our area. Over the UK, I'd reduce this to 85% as I've read there's some reluctance and obviously some genuinely can't have it.

I found this interesting. Seems like in January UK people were much keener on getting vaccinated than the French. May have changed since then?
