The majority of respondents (about 70%) believes that COVID-19 pandemic in their own country is at “post-peak” phase. Unvaccinated respondents are more likely to believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is finished compared to vaccinated ones. Predictably, unvaccinated respondents do not expect to take up the vaccine in the future, compared to the already vaccinated. Also, if vaccinated individuals think that a next wave is unlikely to happen, then they tend to be undecided about getting a COVID-19 booster. }, title = {Perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic phases and future waves}, type = {Scientific analysis or review, Anticipation and foresight}, url = {}, doi = {} }
