Elon Poll finds N.C. residents increasingly favor COVID-19 vaccination
Published 4:21 a.m. today
A larger segment of North Carolina residents is now in favor of getting vaccinated against COVID-19, with 63 percent of adults saying they have been vaccinated or plan to, the Elon University Poll has found.
That growth appears to be driven by a shift within the population by those who had previously been unsure about vaccination, according to Jason Husser, director of the Elon Poll and associate professor of political science.
“Vaccine support has increased dramatically since we started tracking attitudes in October 2020,” Husser said. “At that time, only 33 percent of North Carolina residents said ‘yes’ when asked about their vaccine plans. Now, 63 percent have either already taken a vaccine or plan to take it when they can.”
RALEIGH â COVID-19 cases in North Carolina are slowly inching toward the milestone of 1 million cases, while in Avery County, the last county to report a positive case last May, the total of confirmed positive cases has topped 2,000.
