How Vaccine Skepticism Has Shifted Since March 2021

The share of U.S. adults who are unwilling to get vaccinated or are uncertain:

Since Morning Consult began tracking in mid-March, the share of total vaccine skeptics (uncertain plus unwilling) has dropped from 39% to 27% of the adult population. 

Drilling down into what’s driving skepticism, those who are uncertain tend to be more likely to cite side effects and worries that the vaccine moved through clinical trial too fast, while those who are unwilling are more likely to say they don’t trust the manufacturers. 

Although concern about side effects remains the top reason for vaccine skepticism overall, a tracking high of 20% of unwilling Americans cite their lack of trust in the companies making the vaccine as the primary cause of their reticence.

Methodology

Morning Consult conducts daily interviews with over 6,000 respondents in the United States. The interviews are conducted online through multiple nationally recognized vendors. Morning Consult uses a stratified sampling process based on age and gender to reach a broad, nationally representative audience in each country. Daily responses are weighted to approximate a representative sample of adults based on U.S. census data.

The weighting methodology for national data considers a range of demographic characteristics, including age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. State-level results were weighted separately to be representative of age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, home ownership and population density.
