Despite this fact, a new poll shows many won’t be getting a vaccine once it becomes available.
A new survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 49% of Americans say they plan to get a vaccination once one becomes available with another 31% saying they are unsure if they will get vaccinated.
“Older Americans, and those who worry that they or someone in their household could be infected with the virus are more inclined to say they will get a coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available,” researchers said according to NPR.
“Black Americans are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to say they do not plan to get the vaccine if it becomes available.”
The survey also showed that white Americans were far more likely to get a coronavirus vaccine, outpacing black Americans 56% to 25%.
