As the first COVID-19 vaccines begin to reach New Hampshireâs most vulnerable populations, a new poll through the University of New Hampshireâs survey center has found that a majority of people in the state â 61 percent â plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine once itâs offered to them.
Judith Rees, a Dartmouth researcher who co-authored the study, said those numbers indicate growing trust in the vaccine among Granite Staters, likely due to new research showing the vaccineâs effectiveness. In October, only 40 percent said they would definitely or probably get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Despite that, 21 percent say they will âalmost certainly notâ get the vaccine.
