A Quinnipiac University survey reportedly found that 61% of respondents would be willing to take a coronavirus vaccine once one is approved.
Researchers also found most Americans don’t plan to get the vaccine at the earliest available date, however, with only 37% of those surveyed saying they plan to get the shot as soon as possible. The survey revealed 41% of survey takers would wait a handful of months and another 33% indicated they would not be willing to get vaccinated.
“When it comes time to roll up the sleeve, will Americans put their trust in the vaccine? The answer is yes, but as far as timing, there will be no rush to be first in line,” lead Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tom Mallory commented in a statement released by the institution along with the survey results.
Indeed, the majority of respondents, 67%, said getting the coronavirus vaccine should not be made mandatory by state governments, while only 29% said it should be mandatory.
According to Fox News, the poll was run by Quinnipiac University during the first week of December. Nearly 1,000 registered voters responded to the phone survey, and the sampling error is reportedly 3.1 percentage points either way.
The survey also got a peek into how Americans are feeling nine months into the coronavirus pandemic.
Reportedly, 74% of those who responded contracted COVID-19 or personally know someone infected. In addition, a similar percentage — 77% — reported feeling concerned they or someone they know will be infected by the coronavirus.
Similarly, a majority 64% of those who responded to the survey said they were concerned hospitals might run out of space to care for the sick.
“If the worst case befalls your household, will you be able to rely on treatment in your hometown? The answer underscores the pervasive fear that you may be on your own,” Mallory pointed out.
Indeed, a majority of survey respondents, 57%, told researchers they believed the COVID-19 situation was getting worse in America, with another 51% saying it will take more than a year for the country to recover.
Coronavirus Vaccine and Biden’s First 100 Days
NBC News reports coronavirus vaccines, along with masking, social distancing and other public health measures, will play a big part in President-elect Joe Biden’s first days in office.
In a recent statement, the next American president said opening schools would be a priority.
“Masking, vaccinations, opening schools,” Biden reportedly said. “These are the three key goals of my first 100 days.”
CNN reports Biden’s goal is to provide at least 100 million vaccination shots to Americans in his first 100 days in office. The president-elect reportedly called on President Donald Trump’s administration to ramp up purchases of coronavirus vaccinations from drug makers Pfizer and Moderna and “to work swiftly to scale manufacturing to U.S. populations and the world.”
Coronavirus Vaccine Status
According to the World Health Organization, national regulatory authorities are reviewing various vaccines.
“Once vaccines are proven safe and effective, they must be approved by national regulators, manufactured to exacting standards, and distributed,” the agency website states.
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it recommended a coronavirus vaccine made by Pfizer and could grant emergency use authorization of the shot within days. Pfizer’s vaccine reportedly works using mRNA technology and boasts a 95% effective rate; however, the shot requires a low storage temperature of minus-94 degrees Fahrenheit.
In addition, the Pfizer vaccine will reportedly take two doses to work.
Several other vaccines are in the pipeline.
The drug company Moderna has reportedly developed a vaccine using mRNA technology, as well, but the Moderna vaccine does not require storage temperatures as cold as Pfizer’s option.
AstraZeneca is also close, reportedly in Phase 3 of its clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine; however, experts say even as drug companies race to get vaccinations to the masses, relief is still in the distance.
Indeed, President-elect Biden made no promises about ending the coronavirus pandemic in his first 100 days in office.
“My first 100 days won’t end the COVID-19 virus. I can’t promise that,” Biden reportedly stated at an event where he discussed his priorities and announced members of his cabinet. “But we did not get in this mess quickly; we’re not going to get out of it quickly. It’s going to take some time. But I’m absolutely convinced that in 100 days we can change the course of the disease and change life in America for the better.”

No. There hasn’t been enough research and development to root out side effects. I don’t trust any of them. From start to finish, it takes a minimum of 5 years for a new vaccine to be approved for use by the FDA.
Definitely not. It is an RNA gene modification treatment for starters. Many doctors say it is dangerous. Professional associations are blackmailing doctors to follow Big Pharma directives or loose their license to practice medicine.
Yes i will take it!
I will NOT use the vaccine. As far as I’m concerned it is as ineffective the flu shot…as it only covers the specific form of the virus not any new variations which they have already announced a second form is spreading.
How do people figure on building an normal healthy immune system ??? Another thing to consider it that this was out in 2019, several people had it and don’t realize it as they probably thought it was the flu so, how sick can ya get if you’re vaccinated, This could be why some die and get sick after they receive the vaccine.
Think about it before you allow anyone to inject foreign “anti-bodies” into you since you really have no clue what is in that syringe.
ANYONE who does get vaccinated NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE 2 WEEK ISOLATION AS THEY ARE HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS & WILL SPREAD THE VIRUS !!!
Yes
Absolutely yes, as soon as it’s available to the rest of the public.
Absolutely YES! As soon as it is available to the public.
Absolutely NOT! I watched a video from a research scientist that explains exactly how this vaccine works. If his explanation is correct, we are going to see countless deaths from this vaccine alone. Nobody is injecting me with that crap……
No I will not accept this vaccine. Technically there is no vaccine whatsoever that “cures” a virus of any form. People need to remember that part. You are being inoculated with a form of the virus in the hopes that you will not catch the worst of it.
Do your own research before you blindly use this inoculation. Check out what a small European study has found that the AstraZeneca vaccine causes to happen to women of childbearing age. Beware all my brown people!
Yes, I will get it as soon as it is available to me = I’m over 65
