A survey conducted with 1,000 people by healthinsurance.com reveals that 56% of Americans surveyed believe COVID-19 is never going away.
Over 3/4 have already received or plan to soon receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Of the remaining 24%, nearly 6 in 10 (59%) say they are afraid of the COVID-19 vaccine. The reason for this fear according to 50% is because of the side effects and 20% say it’s because of how fast the vaccine was created.
Despite the vaccine, 67% think it’s too soon to drop mask mandates and 59% are in favor of some kind of vaccine passport. Mask or no mask, vaccine or no vaccine, nearly two-thirds (62%) in the “new normal” are afraid to cough or sneeze in public even if it’s not because they have COVID-19.
