Urban Institute surveyed 9,067 American adults between April 2 and April 20. Among adults who reported they were eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine but had not tried to get one, two-thirds had a personal healthcare provider. Among this group, 73 percent said they trust their providers for information about COVID-19 vaccines, but just 19 percent have obtained such information from their providers
Among those who were eligible for COVID-19 vaccination and opted not to receive it, 56 percent said they trust their physicians and healthcare providers to provide information about vaccines. Fifty-three percent trust their family and friends, and 49 percent trust pharmacists.
The most common reasons behind this group’s vaccine hesitancy were concerns about long-term side effects, worries that the vaccines were developed too quickly and wanting to know more about the vaccines’ efficacy in preventing COVID-19.
