Views on the COVID-19 vaccine have crystallized during the first immunization campaign of the post-pandemic era, with partisanship — and, to a lesser extent, age — remaining the strongest predictor of whether someone will seek out a vaccine, according to Ipsos polling provided to Axios.
The big picture: About half of Americans say they plan to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine, while a small number report experiencing difficulty lining up a shot.
- Some 70% of Democrats indicate they will get the latest COVID shot, which includes 8% who say they already have. That’s compared to 28% of Republicans who plan to get vaccinated (4% already received).
- Drilling down further: 45% of Democrats said they are “very likely” to get the shot, while 58% of Republicans said they are “not at all likely” to get it.
- “Even though COVID has receded from public view, there is still some polarization and strong feelings,” said Mallory Newall, vice president at Ipsos. “There’s not a lot of Americans who are in the middle.”
