Only half of Americans say they intend to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, according to a new poll.
Another poll, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos, found similar results, with 24 percent of Americans saying they weren't interested inoculated, with 14 percent saying they were"not at all interested." This poll also found that more than 40 percent of respondents who weren't interested being vaccinated believed it was riskier than the virus itself and half said they were worried about the speed in which the vaccine was being developed.
The findings from both of these polls come shortly after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said that it was collaborating with the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to produce at least 300 million doses of AZD1222, a potential coronavirus vaccine. "Getting a vaccine to the American public as soon as possible is one part of President Trump's multi-faceted strategy for safely reopening our country and bringing life back to normal, which is essential to Americans' physical and mental well-being in so many ways," Azar said.reached out to HHS for comment on the poll findings but did not receive a response in time for publication.
