Default Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Presents Challenge for Herd-Immunity Push

Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Presents Challenge for Herd-Immunity Push
By Wernau & Overberg, 2/3/21, Wall St. Journal

If everyone in the U.S. who says they definitely plan to
get vaccinated gets the shot, it wont be enough to end
the pandemic. Thats because vast numbers of Americans
are either unsure about getting the Covid-19 vaccine or
say they will never get it, according to new data from
the U.S. Census Bureau.

The survey of responses from about 68,000 adults conducted
Jan. 6-18 provides the most comprehensive picture yet about
which Americans are hesitant to get vaccinated€”and why.

About 51% of unvaccinated adults said they will definitely
get the vaccine, with 26% saying they probably will, 14%
saying they probably will not & 10% saying they definitely
will not.

Studies show that to stop the spread of Covid-19 & its
mutations, between 70%-80% of the population must develop
immunity, raising the stakes for health officials to lure
ambivalent Americans into taking the vaccines.

At present, about 8% of the U.S. population has had at
least one dose of vaccine, according to CDC & Census data.
