Four out of ten Russians did not get vaccinated against COVID-19 because they feared long-term health consequences, according to a survey from June 2021. Moreover, roughly one third were waiting for more people to get a vaccine when there would be more information about consequences of the vaccination. Side effects, such as fever or weakness, were named a reason behind vaccination hesitancy by 12 percent of respondents.
