The survey shows that more people are positive about vaccines today compared with the end of the summer, 46 percent and 36 percent, respectively.
Since the survey in August, the proportion who do not want to be vaccinated also decreases, in November 26 percent said no and 37 percent in August.
- The reduction may have to do with the death rate increasing again and that people are simply more afraid of the disease than of the vaccine, says Torbjörn Sjöström at Novus.
It is mainly among men and the elderly that the desire to take vaccines has increased.
- At the same time, it is worth mentioning that almost every third Swede is hesitant and has not decided whether they want to be vaccinated, says Torbjörn Sjöström.
Remember the swine flu
Of the quarter who answered no, that they do not want to be vaccinated, as many as 87 percent are worried about side effects of the vaccine.
Many people still remember the cases of narcolepsy, sleeping sickness, which was triggered by Pandemrix, the swine flu vaccine, 2009. Today, 440 people receive compensation from the drug insurance for having developed narcolepsy after taking the vaccine.
60 percent of Swedes were then vaccinated.
Only 2 percent of the Swedish people believe that vaccines are generally bad and therefore do not want to get vaccinated.
The issue of vaccination will be discussed in tonight's Agenda.
Participating are Minister of Social Affairs Lena Hallengren (S), the head of the Public Health Agency Johan Carlson and Marie Olsson, whose daughter got narcolepsy after the mass vaccination against swine flu in 2009.
