WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults say they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or plan to be, a number that has been stable over the past three months but is higher than in late 2020 and early 2021.
Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults in May 2021 have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or plan to be, similar to the 75% and 74% measured in April and March, respectively. When Gallup first asked the question in July 2020, 65% planned to get vaccinated, which dropped to 50% in September before recovering by December.
As of the May 18-23 survey, 60% of U.S. adults report they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, 4% have been partially vaccinated, 12% plan to be vaccinated and 24% do not plan to be vaccinated.
Among those not planning to be vaccinated, 78% say they are unlikely to reconsider their plans, including 51% who say they are "not likely at all" to change their mind and get vaccinated. That leaves one in five vaccine-reluctant adults open to reconsidering, with 2% saying they are very likely and 19% saying they are somewhat likely to change their mind and get vaccinated -- equivalent to 5% of all U.S. adults.
Last week, the Biden administration announced plans to increase efforts to achieve its goal of having 70% of adults at least partially vaccinated by the Fourth of July holiday. With 64% already vaccinated, that goal seems within reach if half of the 12% planning to get vaccinated follow through, even if none of those not planning to get vaccinated change their mind.

Gallup's March and April COVID-19 surveys found no dominant reason among vaccine-reluctant individuals for their intention not to get vaccinated. The most common reasons given were wanting to confirm the vaccine was safe (23%) and a belief they would not get seriously ill from the virus (20%). Slightly fewer expressed concerns about the timeline for developing the vaccine (16%) or mistrust of vaccines in general (16%). Ten percent said they already have immunity because they have had COVID-19, while 10% cite allergies or concern about allergies as the reason they do not plan to get vaccinated.
The one in four vaccine-reluctant adults are not distributed equally across major demographic groups:
About half of Republicans, 46%, compared with 31% of independents and 6% of Democrats, do not plan to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Americans without a college degree are much more likely than college graduates to be vaccine-hesitant, 31% to 12%.
Vaccine hesitancy is more common among middle-aged Americans (33% of those between the ages of 35 and 54) than among younger (22%) and older Americans (20%).
Love how this % hovers around the unknowable “science” of here immunity but 25% or so of the population never getting vaxxed will continue to drive leftist Covid loving jackasses into a permanent state of panic. And since these folks will be wearing face diapers until at least 2022 you can avoid them or just plain mock them.
Who cares. Just open everything up, remove all restrictions and mandate and open up our schools without requiring our children to be bound up with face masks. Choose to get vaccinated or choose to not get vaccinated… IT’S AN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE.
Dunno.
Give it two years or so, then maybe I’ll get the not-a-vax.
Maybe.
Spouse and I were originally planning to get vaccinated, but we’ve decided to go the Ivermectin route if we get Covid. I trust that group of doctors rather than Biden.
Absolutely amazed at the sheeple who volunteered to get an experimental vaccine, that uses an untested mRNA method that has absolutely ZERO research on long term effects, we have no studies that it EVEN WORKS, and evidence that it has killed over 4,000 people.
Over a cold that has a 99.7% chance of survivability, that you need a DNA test to see if you even have this cold, and almost half of us are asymptomatic.
Some MD’s are saying that those who took the vaccine have a life expectancy of 3-5 years; and I’m wondering if this is a bad thing.
Reluctance intimates that there may be some small chance someone may consider getting the 💉. Not only are we “non-hesitant”, we feel awesome that ours can go to some underserved group. Underserved why? Well, racis’ liberal progressive demonazi policies of course. Happily keepin’ ‘em down since CRA ‘64!
(Americans without a college degree are much more likely than college graduates to be vaccine-hesitant, 31% to 12%.)
I must be in the “sucking the hind teat” group.
God has been good to me. I’m 82yo last month and can still weed eat, mow with the John Deer, and do what’s necessary around the house. I’m active.
Well yeah. Not going to change my mind after a year.
For the record, I am vaccinated. I am in my mid-50s and not likely to be fathering any more children, so after consideration I decided the risk was acceptable. The key words in there being I DECIDED.
Anyone who wants to be vaccinated should be free to do so. Anyone who does not want to be vaccinated should be free to not do so. Minors should only be vaccinated at the express approval of their parents or guardians. Nobody should be forced to be vaccinated. Except Dr Fauci, who should get a full injection suite each week for the rest of his life.
So? The vaccine is there for those that want it and everyone who does has been given ample time to get it. No more precautions - things should be wide open and let the chips fall where they may.
For many, it's not over until their leftist governor says it's over.
Also why get a vaccine if you’ve already had it and have the antibodies?
RE: Also why get a vaccine if you’ve already had it and have the antibodies?
I asked someone who had mild Covid this and her response was - “so that I can get HIGHER LEVELS of antibodies...”
Funny i find only the antivaxxers are wishing for the deaths of those that made a different decision than they did. I know dozens of MDs that assessed the risk and benefits and got the vaccine None icus wish the folks that didn’t get it would get covid and die in the next few years. But I appreciate your kind thoughts
