COVID-19 Patient Primary Care Survey, Series 7, Fielded May 13-26th, 2021

Abstract

Not everyone in the US has hit vaccination targets set by the federal government. Low-income populations and those living in rural areas are 15% less likely to be vaccinated than the general population. Vaccine hesitancy remains a significant obstacle with over 60% of those unvaccinated reporting they are vaccine hesitant or resistant. Vaccine hesitancy was 10% higher among low-income respondents, rural respondents, and parents of children under 18. Among parents surveyed, 60% were vaccine hesitant or resistant. High rates of trust for primary care, as reported by vaccine resistant populations, suggest primary care may be a key asset to overcome vaccination challenges. These are the results from Series 7.
