THIS SURVEY EXPLORES CANADIANS’ AND AMERICANS PERSPECTIVES ON COVID-19 AND VACCINATION.

In this edition, we asked Canadians and Americans with children aged 5-11 whether any cases of COVID-19 have been reported at their child(ren)’s schools. We also asked Canadians and Americans about their support for vaccine passports and their perspectives on COVID-19 in general.

This survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of surveys is available on Leger’s website.
