As the country works to meet the government's goal of vaccinating 70 percent of U.S. adults, survey data shows that many who expressed hesitancy about getting vaccinated in late 2020 remain skeptical. Respondents who reported that they remain unlikely to get vaccinated say they have difficulty trusting the safety of the vaccines as a result of growing political baggage and misinformation.
Mobilizing trusted messengers like physicians will be crucial to continue efforts to vaccinate as many individuals as possible in an effort to meet the government's goal of vaccinating 70 percent of U.S. adults.
