We asked young people why they're getting vaccinated, here's what you had to say

We asked, you answered. Explaining why you decided to get the jab can hep others who might still be feeling a bit unsure to consider your reasons and how they fit into their lives!

Here’s why the young people who completed our survey are getting the vax. If you’d like to share your reasons with us you can do that here, and we might make a part two!

“To protect myself and others. I also hope that with vaccines we can safely get back to a normal life.”

“Getting vaccinated to stay safe and to help society get back to normality!”

“To protect myself from negative effects of the virus and to contribute to the national vaccination numbers which will enable the boarders to be opened.”

“To keep myself and the community safe.”

“I am a nurse, it will create herd immunity and support those who can’t get it.”

“It is the responsible choice to protect myself and others.”

“I’m a fulltime carer for my mum and it’s my responsibility to make sure she doesn’t get sick.”

“Staying safe and hopefully helping the world return to some state of ‘normal’.”

“To help keep myself and my community safe.”

“I’m a young carer.”

“Because it’s the bare minimum I can do for both my own health and others.”
