Almost one in four Americans would like to refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. This is evidenced by the survey data published by Monmouth University, writes TASS.
Another 50 percent of respondents said they are ready to get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity, and 6 percent of those surveyed have already been vaccinated. At the same time, 19 percent of survey participants would like to postpone vaccinations, and 24 percent would prefer to avoid vaccinations.
It is also indicated that almost three quarters of the polled supporters of the Democratic Party (72 percent) would like to be vaccinated. At the same time, among Republicans, only 39 percent of those polled said they wanted to get the vaccine, and 42 percent of supporters of the Republican Party would prefer not to get vaccinated. Among the respondents without political preferences, there were slightly more than half of those who wanted to get vaccinated – 51 percent.
On February 2, it became known that the number of people vaccinated against coronavirus in the United States exceeded the number of people infected with the virus. According to Bloomberg, an average of 1.34 million people in the United States are vaccinated against the coronavirus per day. However, only 1.8 percent of Americans have received both doses of the vaccine so far.
