OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Only about 7 out of 10 people in the UK are fully vaccinated. Across the world, the main reason for such reluctance is a lack of public trust. This study first proposes to investigate why a significant minority trust the vaccine as little as they do. It will collect data from people living in the United Kingdom, with both a nationally representative sample and a boosted sample of non-White respondents. It will aim to uncover a series of stylized facts in relation to people’s reasoning about the vaccine. It will investigate whether these reasons differ by race or ethnicity. will then run a follow-up study to investigate whether an informational intervention can increase individual’s intention to vaccinate.
