Poll shows COVID-19 vaccine efforts bearing fruit
A new Vaccines in Kentucky Poll, commissioned by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, shows efforts to encourage COVID-19 vaccines have persuaded two-thirds of those who said earlier this year they were open to changing their minds. The poll, conducted August 4 to September 4, showed overall lower hesitancy by about one-third, compared to a similar poll conducted six months ago.
Majority of Kentuckians think vaccine benefits outweigh risks
Seven in 10 Kentucky adults think the benefits of vaccines for adults outweighs potential risks. When asked about vaccines for children, that number rose to 75 percent of adults reporting the benefits outweigh any risks.
