Data collected as part of a multi-method study to investigate parent and guardian views on the acceptability of a future COVID-19 vaccine. Participants reported that they were aged 16 years or older, the parent or guardian of one or more children aged 18 months or under, and lived in England. The collection consists of: [1] a tabular dataset that contains survey responses on the acceptability of a future COVID-19 vaccine, as provided by 1252 parents and guardians; [2] Transcripts of 19 follow-up interviews that provide greater insight into participant views on a future COVID-19 vaccine for themselves and for their children; and [3] Research instruments (interview guides, survey forms) used for data capture.
The table below outlines variables contained within the 'COVID-19_vaccine_survey_data.csv' and 'COVID-19_vaccine_survey_data-freetext_responses.csv' datasets.
