U.S. Public Now Divided Over Whether To Get COVID-19 Vaccine
the share of Americans who say they would get vaccinated for the coronavirus has declined sharply since earlier this year.
About half of U.S. adults (51%)
now say they would definitely or probably get a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 if it were available today;
nearly as many (49%) say they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated at this time.
Intent to get a COVID-19 vaccine
has fallen from 72% in May, a 21 percentage point drop.
The share who would definitely get a coronavirus vaccine now stands at just 21% – half the share that said this four months ago.
