Majority of Americans Unlikely to Get Updated COVID-19 Vaccine

A Pew Research Center survey reveals that 60% of Americans are unlikely to get the updated 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine, with significant partisan divides influencing vaccine uptake. While 62% of White and 58% of Hispanic adults are hesitant, Black and Asian adults are evenly split on getting vaccinated. Democrats, especially those aged 65 and older, are more inclined to receive the vaccine compared to Republicans. Concerns about side effects and perceived lack of necessity are the main reasons for vaccine hesitancy.
