As the Biden administration ramps up its efforts to increase the access of COVID-19 vaccines to more Americans, there are a large number of Americans who are skeptical about of the COVID-19 vaccine. About 1 in 3 Americans stated they definitely or probably won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a recent poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll reveals while 67% of Americans plan to get vaccinated or have already done so, 15% are certain they won’t and 17% say probably not. 65% expressed substantial skepticism about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. In fact, 38% stated they don’t believe they need a vaccine, with a similar share saying that they don’t know if a COVID-19 vaccine will work and that they don’t trust the government.
To help ease COVID-19 vaccine skepticism, we spoke with Joan Kapusnik-Uner, Vice President of Clinical Content at First Databank (FDB) to learn more about what to expect during the COVID-19 vaccine process, safety concerns, effectiveness, etc.
