Most adults do not plan to get Covid -19 shots in a change of vaccine policy
According to a new survey by the Healthcare Policy Group KFF, more than half of the American adult-59 percent-they say they do not expect to shot the Covid -19 booster in this autumn.
The survey results show that 23 percent of the US adult respondents say they will get the vaccine “probably not”, and 37 percent said they will not get the shot “certainly not”.
The Americans who said that they “probably” or “of course” do not get the shot think they are even more that they seem to make changes in US vaccine policy “Major” and make people less protected.
Information comes as the Trump administration has made a strict change in the vaccine policy in the country.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced earlier this year that Covid -10 shots will no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women.
Kennedy suddenly dismissed all 17 members of an independent vaccine advisory panel for disease control and prevention centers (CDC) in June. He then replaced the panel with eight hand-selling appointments, many of whom had expressed suspicion in the past.
Adults, identified as Republicans, were less likely to plan the vaccine compared to those who were identified as Democrats.
According to the survey, about 6 out of 5 Republicans said they would get a “definitely not” shot compared to about 1 out of 10 Democrats.
White adults would most likely say that they acknowledged that they would “not get the shot” as they arrived with about 4 out of 10 people.
Meanwhile, 32 percent of black adults say that they will get the “definite” of the Covid -19 vaccine in this autumn, as well as 30 percent of adults who were identified as Hispanic.
The adults between the ages of 5 and 6 probably said that they are not planning to get vaccine, 12 percent of the ages say they will get the shot in the autumn.
The United States seems to be feeling another summer wave in the Covid -19 case. According to the CDC, the Covid -1 infection has been increasing in 5 states, including Florida, Texas and New York, until July 25.
The KFF survey conducted on July 8-14 by a national representative survey of about 1,300 people.
