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.

So what? Absolutely horrific if the powers that be are urging people who had covid19 to get the vaccine knowing it may hurt them. Btw no one said you were pressuring people to get the vaccine. Just making the observation that our government on every level - national, state and local - is pressuring people to get the vaccine and not making it clear it is still an experimental injection.
Ditto! And I’m an unexvaxx.
That’s a blog.
I wonder how long us unvaccinated people will have to wear masks. I had to wear one in the doctor’s office today because I have not been vaccinated. No problem, but will that be the same next fall? Next winter? For the rest of my life?
Just wait until whether you can use your health insurance benefits, public and/or private, is dependent upon your vaccination status.
I asked someone who had mild Covid this and her response was - “so that I can get HIGHER LEVELS of antibodies...”

It doesn’t work that way. But of course, the CDC is happy to countenance any confusion or misunderstanding which helps propagate these horrible ‘shot’.
Derp Translation: Uneducated hillbillies.
Hyuck, hyuck. Garsh, pa.
You just might be insane.
In the membrane.
Its okay. Nobody recognizes you as a legit source.
In addition that doesn’t mitigate your hoping everyone who has had a vaccine dies in the next 3-5 years.
Yep. You ARE insane in the membrane.
Not even if both my legs got eaten by sharks and my guts and liver were fallin' out my booty hole.
Keep walkin', doc.
Too many Med classes. Not enough English classes.
You're foreign, right?

Really? When did the FDA approve them?
You're another insane, sick puppy. In the membrane.
Harkonnen.
Shocker.
So?
That’s funny!
That’s my point.
“…It depends on how you feel about first responders and medical staffing. Most get vaccinated. We can expect an unusual rate of negative impacts among first responders and hospital staff. That dimishes medical preparedness, in addition to quality of life and safety of those first responders….
… So it’s not a ‘live and let live’ let the public make up their own minds situation if you rely on crop production, car maintenance, fire fighters, police and ambulance drivers to be available at relatively stable rates.
It’s odd to read people asserting that it’s up to private choice whether our society can handle the expense and limitations of having part of the public become needlessly ill for an indefinite period of time. Disability, medical expenses, lost wages, missed work etc.…”

Hmmm… our medical workers, ambulance drivers, fire fighters, police and other first responders were in the vanguard of those getting vaccinated LAST DECEMBER. That’s HALF A YEAR. So when can we expect the onslaught of illness and dire consequences? The first responders I see seem to be brimming with good health and vitality which, for you, may be a depressing picture.
