Almost 75% of America's adult population is now fully vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a personal health choice, but a new study suggests that appealing to the economy’s health as well as protecting others may be a good way to persuade vaccine skeptics into getting their shots.
Researchers at Harvard Business School and a number of European universities, including Università Bocconi in Milan, Italy and IE University in Madrid, Spain, started their work in December 2020, around the time when vaccines were slowly starting to roll out. “Participants asked about protecting the population around them had vaccination levels 5.7% higher than the baseline.”
Those asked about protecting the population around them, however, had vaccination levels 5.7% higher than the baseline. Between 12% and 16% of people have told the Kaiser Family Foundation they are “definitely not” getting vaccinated, according to monthly polls dating back to December 2020.
