Trust for vaccines higher in UK than most of Europe, major survey finds People in the UK trust vaccines more than European neighbours, with the French the most sceptical in the world, according to new research.
A first-of-its-kind survey of more than 140,000 people in more than 140 countries found 79 per cent of the world's population think vaccines are safe with 92 per cent of parents saying their children have been vaccinated.
The report, conducted by biomedical research charity Wellcome, found there is less certainty about the safety of vaccines in high-income regions, with 72 per cent of people in Northern America and 59 per cent in Western Europe agreeing they are safe. The Daily Telegraph
