TAMPA, Fla. — Hillsborough County launched a survey on Wednesday to get feedback from the community about the coronavirus vaccine.
It wants to provide the most useful information and resources during the pandemic. It will help the county better understand what group of people will be getting a vaccine and how to serve the community once available.
The survey is anonymous and is five steps, taking about 10 to 12 minutes to complete. Data results will be visible to you. It starts with a five-minute video-- that's so people can feel educated about the vaccine before they start the survey.
Questions include if you've gotten the flu shot, have you been tested for COVID-19, if a vaccine were available now, would you get one? And, where would you like to get a vaccine, your decision-making process in getting a vaccine, how far will you travel to get one, and will you still follow guidelines after you get a vaccine?
Hillsborough County wants to better understand the needs of the community.
"This really allows us to have a conversation with our residents and get that information from them so that we can do a better job to look at those challenges and mitigate the best way to handle that," said Terri Cordova-Hewitt, Division Director, Digital Media Communications & Digital Media, Hillsborough County.
The survey is open for feedback from Dec. 9 through Dec. 30.
You can take it online or by texting "vaccine" to 73224 to get it in English. Text the word "vacuna" to get it in Spanish.
