Milford Seeks Residents' Opinions About Coronavirus Vaccine
The anonymous survey may help health officials get more people vaccinated.

MILFORD, MA — If you have an opinion about the coronavirus vaccines, it's time to let it out.
The Milford Board of Health is encouraging town residents to take part in an anonymous state survey gauging opinions about the new vaccine. There are three versions that have been approved so far: the two-shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, and the one-shot Johnson & Johnson version, which was just granted emergency authorization this week.
The survey largely focuses on attitudes about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccinations in general. The survey also asks for details about coronavirus risk and exposure.
