Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Preferred By More Americans; Those Unsure Of Vaccines Prefer J&J
Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine is the preferred brand of Americans who have not received their jabs but are eager to get inoculated, a recent poll shows.
Many unvaccinated Americans remain hesitant to receive their jabs. A new survey from Survey Monkey shows that 51% of those who have yet to be inoculated say they will get the vaccine, with 71% of Democrats sharing this view to Republicans' 38%.
Some 22% will not get the vaccine, with Republicans leading the pack at 33% versus Democrats at 9%.
Twenty-seven percent (27%) also say they're still unsure -- 29% of Republicans to the Democrats' 20%.
Of those eager to get the jab, 70% prefer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, 67% prefer Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, and 66% are willing to get Moderna's.
Interestingly, those still unsure of inoculations prefer J&J's vaccine (34%), followed by Pfizer (24%) and Moderna (22%).
The data comes as efforts to amp up vaccinations continue across states. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of March 24, 9:00 am ET, 130 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the U.S. A little over 25% of the population have received at least one dose, while 14% or 42.3 million have been fully vaccinated.
Over 70% of 65-year-olds and above have received a single jab, while 43.8% are fully vaccinated.
Data from Survey Monkey shows 47% have received the Pfizer vaccine, 46% got Moderna, and 4% have received the J&J vaccine, the latest one to get emergency use authorization.
