VaccineInsights

Access up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination behavioural and trend data


VaccineInsights sheds light on the reasons behind COVID-19 vaccine-confidence and vaccine-hesitancy. This unique database helps government and public health communicators identify and understand vaccine-hesitant populations in Canada so that behavioural change efforts can be more relevant, targeted and effective.

The VaccineInsights database contains about 100 variables from two specialized survey sources, Caddle and BEworks in collaboration with AskingCanadians by Delvinia. By combining both surveys, researchers, analysts and marketers can understand what populations are willing, unwilling or unsure about getting the vaccine and breaks down the motivations behind that behaviour. When linked to Environics Analytics PRIZM data, users can analyze vaccine-hesitant populations at a local geographic level which can be personified for better messaging and targeting. 

Our October 2021 release of VaccineInsights also includes new variables to help businesses navigate the COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery.

Two specialized survey sources combined for powerful insights

Access a total of 67 variables from Caddle and BEworks in collaboration with AskingCanadians by Delvinia to understand vaccination intention and the underlying cognitive factors that drive vaccine-confidence.

Caddle data provides 18 variables and indicates if respondents are willing, unwilling or unsure about getting the vaccine, if they think the vaccine is safe and where they prefer to get vaccinated.

BEworks cognitive and behavioural model data provides 49 variables to understand the factors that influence motivations behind vaccine-confident and vaccine-hesitant behaviour. The four key cognitive factors include:

  • Valuing Personal Beliefs vs. Empirical Evidence - How likely people are to go with their gut instinct versus scientific evidence.
  • Scientific Knowledge - Assessed knowledge of scientific principles.
  • Belief in Conspiracy Theories -  How open people are to conspiracy theories.
  • Vaccine Risk Concerns - Understanding concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine.
