Beyond mandates, vaccine holdouts remain open to conversations about getting the COVID-19 shot — just not from federal officials
Government officials and business leaders are increasingly turning to mandates as tougher ways to push the COVID-19 vaccination rate higher.
About six in ten people who are now vaccinated but former skeptics said they did it because of friends and family. The top motivator was their effort to protect their loved ones, they said. Pfizer/BioNTech PFE, +3.64% BNTX, +3.99% and Moderna MRNA, -3.33% are the most widely available COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. Both the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna shots use mRNA technology, require two doses, and had similar efficacy rates in last year’s clinical trials.
Among vaccinated survey respondents, 11% said their doctor or nurse offered the vaccine. Within the survey subset that’s not fully vaccinated, one-third said they’d likely agree to the shot if it was offered during a regular visit. In fact, among the staunchest skeptics refusing the shot, 17% said they would likely relent if their doctor offered the shot.Access issues persist, especially for lower-income households, the survey said.
Federal officials are among those least trusted At the bottom of the list were appointed or elected federal officials. Less than a quarter said they had high levels of trust in these public figures and 27% said they placed that same level of trust in national and cable news.
