Professor Karen Hughes, of Public Health Wales, said: “There is a huge amount of work under way to try and develop a vaccine against Covid-19, and it is very positive to see that more than eight out of 10 people in Wales would want to be vaccinated if such a vaccine did become available.
“A vaccine should help reduce the spread of Covid-19 and would hopefully help protect those who are most vulnerable to severe complications if they were to contract the virus.”
The survey, which has been carried out each week since April, found people are leaving their homes more often, having more social contact and washing their hands or using hand sanitiser more.
