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%).

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.
