+### Summary of Changes
+
+Wave 8 expands the scope of the survey items about COVID-19 vaccinations. These
+new items were meant to capture reasons for vaccine hesitancy among respondents.
+
+#### Changed Items
+
+* Answer options for items C1, on chronic medical conditions, have been revised
+  and expanded.
+* Answer options for the occupation questions, including Q64, Q68, Q69, and Q71,
+  were revised and expanded for clarity. Please review the changes carefully
+  when you use responses from multiple waves of this survey, since they may
+  shift which occupations respondents choose.
+
+#### New Items
+
+* Item V2a ask respondents that have received a COVID-19 vaccine and indicated
+  that they have not had 2 doses of the vaccine whether they intend to get the
+  required doses.
+* Items V5a-V5d and V6 were added to capture reasons for respondents not
+  wanting to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The questions are displayed based on the
+  respondents' answers to V2a and V3.
+* Item D1b was previously removed in wave 4 and asks respondents that identify
+  as not male if they are currently pregnant.
+* Item D11 ask respondents if they smoke cigarettes.
