Potential Trouble with Covid-19 Vaccine Compliance in US

There is doubt about the compliance with vaccine measures once a covid-19 vaccine is approved and available for distribution. In a poll released by Gallup in early August of 2020, 35% of Americans report that they would not get a “free, FDA-approved Covid-19 vaccine if ready today.” Historically, individuals with the same political party identification of the contemporary president have been more likely to vaccinate than presidential out-partisans. However, this Gallup poll showed Democrats were more than 30% more likely than Republicans to agree to a vaccine in this scenario, despite the fact that there is currently a Republican in the White House. Although there is not significant research on the matter, this concern among individuals could be realistically attributed to three overlapping categories: Premature approval, politicization, and general mistrust of vaccines.
