Most say they probably won’t get updated COVID vaccine: Survey

(The Hill) – Most Americans in a new poll said they probably won’t get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

The Pew Research Center survey found that 60 percent said they are “probably not” going to “get an updated vaccine.” Just under 25 percent said they “probably” will get a booster and 15 percent said they have already received the latest shot.

It has been over four years since the U.S. began dealing with COVID-19, with the spread of the virus causing mass shutdowns within multiple industries and people around the world being forced to stay in their homes.

Those in the survey who had hesitancy around the updated vaccine were asked about the “major” concerns that prompted them to skip the latest dose. Roughly 60 percent cited issues around side effects, 61 percent said they don’t think they need it, and 5 percent said the cost was a factor in their decision to avoid the shot.

The lady next-door to my moms house was bugging my mother on over and over about why my mom did not get the covid/flu combo shot.

So annoying

I would never, ever get another mRNA poison shot (they aren't actually 'vaccines'. I got the initial series of 2, hated the side effects, and of course, got Covid.

That said, I've been getting the NovaVax Covid vaccine for several years now, no side effect and no Covid.

Well, the old ones didn’t work so maybe the new improved mint flavored ones will. Still decline to participate in their trials. Are the new ones still tagged EUA only?

Got the initial two - no side effects. Nothing since.

Hedging bets.

Like you, I recently received the Novavax Covid vaccine. This vaccine applies past/traditional vaccine technology - not mRNA based.

Funny, I never got the clot shot and never got the covid. Did lose a high paying job because I refused. Feels good not being a 🐑

Not needed any more because COVID has degradesd into the equivalent of a cold. Actually, the hysteria over that virus was never warranted, even in it’s early history.

I got the 2 initial jabs for fully vaccinated status. That allowed me to book half price and half empty cruises. That was wonderful and we did several at bargain prices. 6 months later I got one booster shot. Now it is 3+ years, I still have no adverse effects such as blood clots or heart issues. ready to sail on another cruise on Dec 9th but will skip covid shot.

Right, only 1 million Americans have died so far from diagnosed covid-19.

Back in the 1970s when someone asked an inappropriate question, the common refrain was, “It’s none of your business.”

If they persist, respond to them in a German accent, “Are your papers in order? Let me see your papers!”

Covid has now degraded to something like a cold. Nobody gets cold vaccine. I still get flu shot because it has been around for decades. It may or may not help, but it is free for me.
