Big shift seen in high-risk older adults' attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination

(Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan) Last fall, nearly half of older adults were on the fence about COVID-19 vaccination. But a new poll shows that 71% of people age 50-80 are now ready to get vaccinated against COVID-19 when a dose becomes available to them, up from 58% in October. The jump was even larger among older adults who are Black, Hispanic or in fair or poor health.
