The majority of my patients in practice have indicated they are not going to take another COVID-19 vaccine. But is my clinic a skewed sample?

Steelfisher et al from the Harvard School of Public Health performed a representative sample survey of adult Americans and found that the majority did not feel COVID-19 vaccines were safe (worried about safety) and wanted to see more research done.

This was different from attitudes about influenza vaccine as shown in the table. The authors conclude “Thus, health professionals should expect limited demand for COVID-19 vaccines and moderate interest in influenza vaccines.”

Let’s hope that plummeting demand is a wake-up call for the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex ringing in loud and clear that Americans want more research and safer products before COVID-19 vaccination would ever be considered again.
