North Carolinians uncertain about taking COVID-19 vaccine
Published December 10, 2020
A High Point University Poll finds North Carolina residents are somewhat uncertain about taking a COVID-19 vaccine if one were developed sometime in the next year.
Respondents are split between those who say they did intend to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if one were developed within the next 12 months (42%), those who do not intend to receive such a vaccine (31%) and more than one-quarter (27%) who are unsure or do not offer an answer. This is compared to an October HPU Poll that reported 37% of registered voters who said they did intend to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if one were developed this year. In that same poll, 36% said they did not intend to receive such a vaccine.
