ASPA COVID-19 PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

A campaign to increase vaccine acceptance and reinforce basic prevention measures


CET – Annotated Questionnaire (Wave 65)


Note: The questions below are the proposed questions for the 65th 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 this wave only or are being asked again to update data on a variable of interest. We will be fielding questions about HHS/CDC trust, booster hesitancy, misinformation, likelihood to have children get a booster shot, children’s vaccine locations, surge-related behaviors, and current mask-wearing behavior.


For the next section we would like to talk about current events.

//BASE: All respondents//

Almost all of the statements you saw on the previous pages were false. The only true statements were “In order to be authorized for use, the COVID-19 vaccines must go through extensive testing over three phases of clinical trials with thousands of participants” and “COVID-19 vaccines can cause a short fever, headache, fatigue, sore arm or chills, especially after the second dose. Other reactions are extremely rare.” The other statements were examples of misinformation about COVID, vaccines, and boosters.
