James Druckman, the Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science and Institute for Policy Research associate director is part of a university research consortium, comprising Northwestern, Harvard, Northeastern, and Rutgers. This consortium is leading an ongoing national survey of Americans in all 50 states–investigating vaccine rates, attitudes among Americans, and several other dynamics pertaining to COVID-19.
This study is based on a survey of 25,000+ Americans and compares the change in attitudes and vaccination rates of health care workers in March to those of February. Ultimately the study reveals that levels of hesitancy have dropped significantly in health care works and non-healthcare workers.
“Early on a lot of people expressed outright hesitancy, but they seem to be moving as more and more people get vaccinated without major incidence,” said Professor James Druckman.
