"About 43% of Republicans say they will not get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new survey of just over 800 American adults.
The survey, conducted by Monmouth University Polling, arrives after about half of Americans have received the first shot of the vaccine.
In total, about 1 in 5 of those surveyed said they would be unwilling to get the vaccine if they can avoid it. That number is down about 4% from January and February.
“The number of people who have been skittish about the vaccine has dropped as more Americans line up for the shot, but the hardcore group who want to avoid it at all costs has barely budged,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, in a statement.
“The recent news about J&J vaccines is probably not going to help that situation. On the other hand, it might not make it all that much worse since much of this reluctance is really ingrained in partisan identity.”
The FDA and CDC recommended pausing the use of the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine after a very small group of people developed blood clots following the shot.
Partisanship remained the “main distinguishing factor” among those who want to avoid the vaccine, Monmouth said."
