The percentage of people telling pollsters they won’t get vaccinated has stayed relatively the same, but the share of those on the fence about the shot has dwindled.
, conducted November 8-22 among 1,820 U.S. adults, found 14% of respondents still say they’ll “definitely not” get the shot, while 3% say they’ll only get it if required and 6% say they plan to “wait and see.”, conducted December 7-13 among 47,315 U.S. adults, found 19% of respondents are still unwilling to get vaccinated and 9% are uncertain.
The share of those unwilling to get the shot is nearly unchanged from earlier in the year: KFF found 13% definitely wouldn’t get inoculated in January, while Morning Consult recorded 21% were opposed to the shot when it started polling in March. The percentages of those hesitant, however, have gone down significantly: 31% of respondents planned to “wait and see” in KFF’s January poll, while 18% were uncertain about the shot in Morning Consult’s March survey.
Most people who were uncertain but changed their minds appeared to do so in the first half of 2021 as vaccines became more widely available: KFF found the “wait and see” group went from 31% to 10% between January and June, and Morning Consult recorded a 6% drop through June among uncertain respondents.
The delta variant surge over the summer appeared to have only a minimal effect on vaccine hesitancy, with KFF finding the “definitely not” respondents declined from 14% to 12% between June and September—before jumping to 16% in October as cases went down—while the “wait and see” group went from 10% to 7% and the “only if required” share declined from 6% to 4%.The U.S.
