Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Survey finds vaccination acceptance would increase if the vaccine is released in early 2021, as compared with a 2020 release.
Acceptance would also increase when respondents receive reassuring information about the approval process, side effects and efficacy, and if the vaccine is provided at no cost.
Although, even with these and other acceptance-boosting conditions in place, the research suggests just over 60% of the adult population would accept the vaccine.3.
Even prior to COVID-19, some Americans were skeptical about the safety of vaccines, generally, and the importance of childhood vaccinations.
