Register now for COVID-19 vaccine uptake research

Queensland Health is recruiting general practitioners and other healthcare workers to participate in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy research interviews to understand the factors that influence COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The research interviews, conducted by IPSOS Research, will be completed via Microsoft Teams or over the phone from 4 January to 8 January 2021.

Queensland Health wants to better understand the issue of vaccine hesitancy and explore and understand the level of awareness, attitudes, perceptions, motivations, and concerns of Queenslanders, including healthcare and other frontline/emergency workers, around COVID-19 vaccination. The insights from the research will inform the development of communication strategy to support the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland when they become available.

If you work for an organisation other than Queensland Health or Queensland Government, you will be eligible to be reimbursed $100 on completion of the interview provided on a gift card.
