Supplementary notes

Question was worded in the source as: In principle, would you support or oppose introducing such a system [of vaccine passports] while the vaccine rollout is still ongoing?"

The source adds the following: The system of vaccine passports. This system would involve giving everyone a vaccine passport once they have received their COVID-19 vaccines, and allowing services and venues to re-open so long as they only serve those who have already been vaccinated (i.e. those who can show their vaccine passport).

Numbers may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
