About two-thirds of Oklahomans say theyâll take the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as itâs available to them, according to a survey conducted for the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
State Health Commissioner Lance Frye said the survey results are encouraging, even though they indicate a fairly large number of people still resistant to being vaccinated.
âWeâre pleased to see the results of this survey indicate most Oklahomans are confident in the safety of vaccines â as are we,â said Frye. âThe COVID-19 vaccines available to Oklahomans have been carefully vetted by the FDA and have gone through all the typical regulatory processes to ensure theyâre just as safe as any other vaccine. Theyâre outstandingly effective. Weâre very optimistic for how these vaccines will work to protect Oklahomans.â
