The numbers were presented by Carla Nunes, from the National School of Public Health of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, who also added that there is a 13 percent resistance rate among people over 65 years of age.
The most common reasons behind resistance are beliefs in lack of efficacy, fear of side effects and the need for more information. Other reasons include feeling that the vaccines have not been sufficiently tested and they have not been able to talk to a doctor to support their decision.
As for the perception of risk of advanced disease caused by Covid-19, Carla Nunes said that older people have higher values, with a percentage of 60.9 percent.
As to when people believe that all pandemic restrictions will be lifted, the vast majority believe that it should be in December.
According to the specialist, 31.4 percent of people report that it is difficult or very difficult to keep social distance and 16.8 percent say it is difficult to use a mask (with those aged between 26 and 45 showing greater difficulty).

Both my father and brother died from covid (kidney and respiratory failure). My other brother has long covid and is currently unable to walk 200 yards without needing to sit down due to having a lung function of 30% and an increased heart rate.
All three were healthy non smokers, non drinkers. They were actually worried about me and shielding due to the fact that I have Cystic fibrosis. Needless to say I should have been worried about them.
My remaining family, (mam and two sisters and brother) are devastated. Please take care of yourselves and also think of others. Protect one another. It’s been 7 months now and All I wish is to speak with my da and brother, to watch football on the tv with them.
Please take care of yourselves and don’t research don’t just blindly follow. For all those that DON’T want a vaccine then that’s okay, that’s your choice, but I really urge you to continue wearing masks, keeping distances and just be mindful. Not just for yourselves but for others too.
Take care and stay safe.
