James Druckman the Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science and Institute for Policy Research associate director is part of a university research consortium, which includes Northwestern, Harvard, Northeastern, and Rutgers, investigating attitudes on COVID-19.

The consortium surveyed about 25,000 people from in the U.S. between Dec.16, 2020, and Jan. 10. They found that 75% of those surveyed favor getting the vaccination themselves. Other findings also showed that Americans do not believe COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, except for certain groups.
