A recent survey conducted by The Association of Physicians of India (API) and Ipsos (a market research company), in 16 cities among 2,359 adults aged above 50, their caregivers, and doctors, has shown that only 12% of adults in Bengaluru have taken any adult vaccines.
Although 84% of 150 adults surveyed in Bengaluru are aware of adult vaccination, a significant number of adults (89%) and their caregivers (93%) said they would trust their doctor’s word if advised to get vaccinated.
Doctors in Bengaluru have recommended adult vaccines to only 12% of aging adults and only to those who ask for them, the survey found.
