According to a new survey, the percentage of Americans who say they will never get vaccinated against coronavirus has dropped to a new low.
The Axios-Ipsos poll released on Tuesday found that 20% of Americans said they were unlikely or not vaccinated. That represents a new low in the survey and down 34% combined in March and 23% two weeks ago, Axios noted.
The survey found that the factors that reduced the vaccination of the vaccine were the increase in cases of delta variants, the return of children to school in recent days and the granting of full approval of the vaccine. Pfizer-BioNTech by the Food and Drug Administration earlier this month.
“Schools, organizations, companies, mandating governments are forcing people to treat them,” Cliff Young of Ipsos said in an analysis published with the results of the survey. “That’s what’s happening.”
Overall, 68% of Americans with K-12 children said they have already vaccinated their children or are likely to do so as soon as it is approved for their age group. This represents a new high in the survey, a double-digit compared to 56% compared to mid-July.
A total of 19 percent also indicated that their employers required vaccination, a slight increase from 16 percent two weeks ago.
The survey was conducted from 27 to 30 August among 1,071 respondents. It has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.
