ASPA COVID-19 PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

A campaign to increase vaccine acceptance and reinforce basic prevention measures



CET – Annotated Questionnaire (Wave 18)


Note: The questions below are the proposed questions for the eighteenth wave of the Weekly Current Events Tracker (CET). Questions highlighted in yellow will be asked every week; questions highlighted in blue will be rotated into the survey on a monthly basis; and questions highlighted in green are meant to be asked in Wave 18 only or are being asked again to update data on a variable of interest. There is no wave this module, and instead we are testing ideas for future modules centered around: the influence of mandates and incentives, active use of information sources, and conspiratorial thinking.

ASPA will provide OMB with updates to the questionnaire for subsequent Waves.

One-Time or Repeat Questions Being Asked Again to Update Data

We are interested in your opinion of a few messages about COVID-19 vaccination.  

 

For each of the below messages, please indicate how much you agree or disagree with the following statement:

 

“I would share the information in the message with a friend or family member who wants to know more about COVID-19 vaccines.”

Variable Name  

Variable Text  

Variable Label  

ptn_w18_1

Side effects after your second shot may be more intense than the ones you experienced after your first shot. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection and should go away within a few days.

ptn_w18_1: Side effects after second dose

ptn_w18_2

Side effects from vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, almost always happen within 6 weeks of vaccination and serious side effects that could cause long-term health problems are extremely unlikely.

ptn_w18_2: Side effects normal

ptn_w18_3

In one study, over a quarter of adults under 40 who got COVID reported fatigue, headaches, loss of taste, or other long-term symptoms 3 to 9 months after recovery.

ptn_w18_3: COVID symptoms

ptn_w18_4

People who received a COVID-19 vaccine cannot shed or release any of the vaccine components. In addition, none of the vaccines authorized for use in the United States contain a live virus so it is not possible to shed it.

ptn_w18_4: Not shedding

ptn_w18_5

Nearly 1 in 5 new COVID-19 cases in the United States are in children ages 17 and younger. Now everyone 12 and older can get a COVID vaccine.  

ptn_w18_5: New COVID cases in children
