Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:However, there are limitations which should be noted. The survey is web-based so non-participation may have introduced bias into the results. However, the results were weighted to account for non-response and attrition. Small numbers did not allow for detailed analysis of some ethnic groups. Additionally, we did not ask about the different types of vaccinations being developed and whether this would have any bearing on vaccine hesitancy. While we highlight associations between vaccine hesitancy and range of socio-demographic factors, the purpose of this analysis was descriptive. Willingness to be vaccinated is influenced by public health and other communications, as well as a broader range of social factors. These associations should therefore not be interpreted as immutable effects but rather guide vaccination planning. There have been some other smaller UK studies of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy which have not been based on representative samples. These studies indicated that 14% of participants were unwilling to receive a COVID-19 vaccine with a further 22% being unsure as to whether they would take this, with only 64% saying they would take a COVID-19 vaccine.15 A Scottish survey found uptake figures to be slightly higher at between 78-81%.16 A poll by Ipsos MORI in late October 2020 found 67% of the UK public said they were very (42%) or fairly (25%) likely to take a COVID-19 vaccine.17 Our study suggests slightly higher vaccine uptake in the general UK population of 82% w...

About SciScore
SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
