Have you ever been unsure which vaccines you need, where to get vaccinated, or where to find vaccine information in a language you understand?

CNIW and researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland are inviting participants to the Canadian Chinese Adult Vaccination Survey (CCAVS). The study explores vaccination uptake, views about vaccination, access to vaccination services, and sources of vaccine information among Chinese people living in Canada.

You are welcome to participate whether or not you have received vaccines.

Who can participate?

You may participate if you:

  • Are of Chinese origin and 16 years of age or older;
  • Can read English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese; and
  • Have lived in Canada, or plan to live in Canada, for more than six months.

Canadian citizens, permanent residents, international students, work permit holders, and visitors are welcome if they meet these criteria.

What does participation involve?

The online survey takes approximately 15 minutes and is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Participation is voluntary. You may skip questions or leave the survey at any time before submitting. The main survey collects responses anonymously and does not ask for your name, phone number, or email address. Once submitted, your responses cannot be withdrawn because the research team cannot identify which responses belong to you.

Optional prize draw

After submitting the survey, you may choose to enter a separate prize draw for a chance to win:

  • One of ten CAD $100 gift cards
  • One CAD $300 gift card

Entering the draw is optional. Email addresses are collected through a separate registration form, used only to administer the draw and contact winners, and are not linked to survey responses.
