The COVID-19 Vaccine Survey (CVACS) is a South African national panel study of individuals initially unvaccinated against COVID-19. CVACS is implemented by the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) based at the University of Cape Town. The same respondents are interviewed twice, a few months apart, in 2021 and then 2022, to gather information about their attitudes, beliefs and intentions regarding COVID-19 vaccination. The purpose of CVACS is to collect high quality, timely, and relevant information on facilitators and barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake - including vaccine hesitancy and access constraints - to contribute to the development of data-driven campaigns and programmes to increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake in South Africa. In comparison to Survey 1, Survey 2 collected data on unvaccinated and vaccinated respondents. Final data files are:
Unvaccinated (as was in S1)
Vaccinated (New to S2)
derived (As in S1)
