Notes: 1.

2.

The February sample was 54% boosted compared to the May sample of 57% boosted. So, it appears the sample structure does not account for the difference in likelihood between the two time periods.

The question was asked slightly differently - in May’s omnibus it did not specifically refer to a booster but instead asked about the likelihood of getting another COVID-19 vaccine, whereas in February it asked about the likelihood of getting a booster for those who had had two or more primary doses.

Booster perceptions NET Agree It is important to get a COVID-19 booster even if you have had COVID-19

13% 5%

Two doses was good for Delta, but Omicron needs three

13% 7%

It is important to get your COVID-19 booster shot as your immunity wanes over time

11% 6%

It is important to get a COVID-19 booster shot to lower your chances of getting very sick from COVID-19 and ending up in hospital

Booster perceptions Looking at net agreement (agree + strongly agree) for all four statements, there are some general patterns i.e.

-

Agreement roughly increases with age

-

Males have slightly higher levels of agreement than females

-

There are similar levels of agreement between those employed and those not employed

-

Those with household incomes of greater than $100K have higher levels of agreement

-

Those with higher levels of education have higher levels of agreement

-

Those who identify as disabled have higher levels of agreement

-

If boosted, then have higher levels of agreement

-

If not boosted but likely to, then have higher levels of agreement

-

If not personally had COVID, then have higher levels of agreement (than if have had covid personally).

Those aged 18 to 54 years-old and those with lower levels of education (NCEA 6 or less) were more likely to respond ‘neither/nor’ to all statements.
