WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prior to last week’s announcement by Pfizer and BioNTech that its COVID-19 vaccine may have a 90% effectiveness rate, Gallup polling revealed a number of insights about Americans’ views on a coronavirus vaccine and vaccines generally that could still inform how vaccines can be most effectively rolled out to the public. Here is a quick review of five key points from Gallup’s research.

1. The Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of recovery study finds that, among many potential personal characteristics such as age, income and political affiliation, the most significant predictor of whether someone will get the COVID-19 vaccine is if they took the flu vaccine last year. Race and ethnicity are also important drivers of vaccine acceptance, with Black adults being less likely to report they will get the vaccine.
