Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – Findings from a recently published survey reported that vaccine hesitancy is more likely to be experienced in the Western Cape, compared to other provinces.<\/p>\n

Wave 4 of the National Income Dynamics Study Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey (NIDS-CRAM), a national representative survey of South Africa, was launched yesterday.<\/p>\n

The NIDS-CRAM Wave 4 data was collected between February 2 and March 10, 2021, with 5 629 Wave 4 interviews conducted.<\/p>\n

NIDS-CRAM respondents have been surveyed four times since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Forty-two percent of Afrikaans home language respondents were vaccine hesitant, much higher than the national average (29%) and significantly higher than 7 of the 11 language groups.<\/p>\n

The report shows 71% of South African adults say they would get vaccinated if a Covid-19 vaccine was available, with those most at risk more willing to take the vaccine compared to the general population.<\/p>\n

The youth (18-25) and those who rely heavily on social media as an information source were more likely to be vaccine hesitant.<\/p>\n

The three leading reasons for vaccine hesitancy were concerns around side effects, believing the vaccine was not effective, and a mistrust of vaccines in general.<\/p>\n

The report included findings related to Covid-19 vaccines; learning losses, teacher mortality; and food insecurity.<\/p>\n

Around 31 investigators from the University of Cape Town, University of Stellenbosch, University of Witwatersrand, the University of Johannesburg, and the Department of Basic Education contributed to the report.<\/p>\n

One principal investigator, Reza Daniels said: \u201cRespondents are drawn from a nationally representative sample of adults in South Africa from the NIDS 2017 sampling frame. The respondents are interviewed by telephone in each wave of NIDS-CRAM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two-thirds of respondents (67%) reported that their household had run out of money to buy food in the previous month in at least one of these surveys. Nearly half (47%) of the respondents had run out at least two times.<\/p>\n

In households with children, one third (32%) reported that a child went hungry in the past week in at least one of the four waves of NIDS-CRAM.<\/p>\n

Weekly child hunger has declined from 16% in November\/December to 14% in February\/March 2021, although this new rate (12%) is still nearly double pre-pandemic levels (8%).<\/p>\n

Black Sash National Director, Lynette Maart, said the NIDS-CRAM Wave 4 results illustrate why there is no justification for the premature termination of social grant top-ups, including the Caregiver Grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the unemployment crisis, the study paints a bleak picture of households still under tremendous strain facing food insecurity.<\/p>\n

The study recommends the urgent reinstatement of social relief of distress grant top-ups, including the Caregiver Grant, as these measures significantly reduced food insecurity and were more \u2018likely to be accessed by women who provide better nutritional outcomes to households than men.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
