• • Those who oppose or strongly oppose the measure are in the minority: 25% in Germany, 32% in France, 19% in Italy and 12% in Great Britain.
  • Around a fifth of respondents neither support nor oppose the initiative.

• 55% in Germany, 63% in Italy and 69% in Great Britain say they would be willing to carry this vaccine passport for “all circumstances”.

o    The French are more divided: 31% would carry the certificate for all circumstances, 31% only for international travel and 38% would not carry the passport at all.

• Britons support or strongly supportrestricting travel abroad only to those who have been vaccinated against the virus (69%); a support which drops to 35% in Germany, 42% in France and 40% in Italy.

• Four in ten participants in Germany, France, Italy and Great Britain say they do not intend to travel anywhere for holiday this year(46%, 43%, 39% and 46%, respectively).
