Coronavirus vaccine success is being cheered as a breakthrough in the pandemic battle, but in addition to the many logistical battles it may still face, a study released in the UK on Tuesday warns of another human obstacle.

Misinformation on public mistrust of a vaccine.

As many as 36% of people in Britain say they are either uncertain or very unlikely to agree to be vaccinated against the virus, according to scientists behind the research.

The feeling amongst the medical community, however, is that an 80% uptake of a covert 19 vaccine may be needed to protect communities from infection spreading.

Opinion polls carried out before enduring the pandemic have also found that confidence in the effectiveness and safety of vaccine varies dramatically across different countries and populations.

 This was mainly due to political polarization on online misinformation being the likely reasons to affect the rates of uptake.
