Americans are highly divided on their support for vaccine passports but are more likely to support proof of vaccination to travel by airplane than to go to work, according to a May 7 Gallup survey.
The survey asked 3,731 adults aged 18 and older their preferences on vaccine passports from April 19-25.
Four poll findings:
- Fifty-nine percent of respondents who are vaccinated or will be vaccinated said they support proof of vaccination to go to their worksite, compared to 6 percent of those who will not be getting the vaccine.
- Respondents showed the highest support for proof of vaccination for air travel. Seventy-four percent of respondents who are vaccinated or will be vaccinated said they support proof of vaccination to fly on an airplane, compared to 8 percent of those who will not be getting the vaccine.
- Respondents felt proof of vaccination was the least necessary to dine in a restaurant. Fifty-two percent of respondents who are vaccinated or will be vaccinated said they support proof of vaccination to dine at a restaurant, compared to 5 percent of those who will not be getting the vaccine.
- Seventy-one percent of respondents who are vaccinated or will be vaccinated said they support a proof of vaccination to attend a large event, compared to 7 percent of those who will not be getting the vaccine.
