'More Americans are inclined to believe COVID-19 vaccination misinformation, and are less willing to vaccinate, according to a new Annenberg Public Policy Center health survey that found over 20% of Americans incorrectly believe that getting a COVID-19 infection is safer than getting the vaccine—up from 10% in April 2021.' https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/appc-survey-more-accept-covid-19-vaccin...
'Under half of those surveyed said in February 2024 they are “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to get a yearly COVID-19 vaccine if it is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), down from 52% in June 2023.'
