Vaccine Misinformation caused U.S. Covid-19 Vaccination rate to Drop

, , ,

On Aug. 28, 2024, survey data from the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) found that the number of Americans believing Covid-19 vaccination misinformation increased and their willingness to accept or recommend vaccination against Covid-19 has declined.

Two-thirds of Americans (66% July 2024) said the benefits of taking Covid-19 vaccines outweigh the risks – but that was lower than the percentage who said the benefits outweigh the risks for the mpox vaccine (70% July 2024), RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine for adults 60 and older (74% October 2023), and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine (89% August 2023).
