A survey conducted between August 24th and 30th, showed that 28% of Americans say they do not plan to get vaccinated or are unsure whether they will do so, more than double the average for the 15 countries surveyed
WHEN COVID-19 vaccines were first being rolled out in December, many Americans were reluctant to get a jab, fearing that they might be unsafe or have harmful side-effects. At the time, such concerns were not unusual. But according to a new poll, Americans’ continuing scepticism of covid-19 vaccines now makes it an outlier among other rich Western countries.
The recent surge in covid-19 cases across the country, fuelled by the highly infectious Delta variant, may do little to change sceptics’ minds. The rate of vaccine hesitancy has held steady in many of the states where Delta has hit hardest in recent months. And Morning Consult’s poll suggests that it is those who were once uncertain who have come around, rather than those who are adamantly opposed to vaccination. Controlling covid-19 will require finding a way to convince these holdouts.
