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.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2021-11-15","end":"2021-12-15","cycle":"Survey 1"}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"zaf"}],"geog_coverage":"CVACS was not designed to be, and should not be used as a prevalence study.
