People underestimate the vaccine’s ability to prevent death and fail to recognise waning immunity
Research shows people underestimate vaccine’s ability to prevent death and fail to recognise waning immunityAlthough vaccine efficacy declines over time, people think that vaccines are most effective nine months post-vaccination,' the ESRI report states.
However, despite documented vaccine waning effects, the researchers also found there was no difference in survival rate estimates between those who were presented with the options of three months after vaccination versus six months after vaccination. “The two things that are of interest there is that people are underestimating how effective vaccines are at preventing death, and secondly, they gave no weight at all to how long ago they had the most recent dose. We know the vaccines wane over time, quite strongly after about four to six months, and the public, based on that experiment, have not absorbed that message at all,” he said.
