Vaccine reluctance

   March 15, 2021

As of March 13, 54,023 in Escambia County have received at least on shot of the COVID vaccine – 29,272 have completed the series.

Axios Vitals author Caitlin Owens reports vaccine enthusiasm has increased nationwide but Republicans, particularly males, have been reluctant to get the shot:

  • Nearly half of Republican men — 49% — said in an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey, conducted March 3-8, that they won’t choose to be vaccinated when they’re allowed.
  • 41% of all Republicans said the same.

By contrast, 6% of Democratic men said they wouldn’t get the shot.

  • 25% of Black respondents, 28% of white respondents and 37% of Latino respondents said the same.
