Some Republicans in the U.S. may not be lining up to receive a vaccine for the coronavirus when it becomes available, according to polling data released Tuesday by Morning Consult.
Social distancing guidelines and mitigation practices have been shown to reduce the number of coronavirus cases in the country, but many governors do not believe that they can fully complete their state’s reopening plans until a vaccine is ready for distribution.
Republicans are almost three times as likely to refuse vaccination for coronavirus as Democrats. While only 7 percent of Democrats said they would not be vaccinated against the virus, 20 percent of Republicans polled said they would choose not to receive the vaccine.
