According to a survey conducted monthly since December 2020, the share of respondents in the United States that said they would first wait until the vaccine has been available for a while to see how it is working for other people has decreased from 39 in December 2020 to four percent in the months January, February, and April 2022. On the other hand, the percentage of Americans who definetly would not receive a vaccination, in September dropped under 13 percent for the first time. However, it jumped up to 17 percent by April 2022.
