The latest @ONS survey on vaccine sentiment shows continuing strong support to have (or have had) the vaccine. There's still the downward shape by age, but even below 30 it's put at 88%.

We have started to see a downward trend in reality too, as we work through the ages.

As noted yesterday, for England the 50-54 group is not quite yet at 90%, which suggests the actual picture is slightly lower than the survey (which puts 50-69 at 96%). Whether this is due to hesitancy or practical issues with attending is not obvious.

2/5

Other data in the survey shows higher proportions of younger people not maintaining social distancing with friends, whereas for older ages it's mixing with family members that is more the reason for not following the guidance.

There's a clear trend of a greater proportion now working at their place of work fully. With retail and hospitality (to some extent) opening up, this isn't particularly surprising.

4/5

Levels of general satisfaction/happiness have recovered as restrictions have eased, although still remain pre the 1st lockdown level.
