Vaccine resistance among parents

Key takeaways

Major gender and age gaps remain, with young mothers and mothers of young children being the most resistant to vaccinating their kids and requiring COVID-19 vaccination for in-person school attendance. 

● Among older mothers, vaccine resistance is declining and support for school vaccine mandates is increasing. 

● Black parents have become substantially less resistant to vaccinating their kids. However, among Democrats, Black parents remain by far the most vaccination-resistant group, followed by Hispanic Democrats, then White Democrats, due in part to lower levels of trust in government and healthcare institutions. Asian American parents are the most pro-vaccine among both Democrats and Republicans. 

● Support for school vaccine mandates has grown substantially from 54.4% in the winter to 61.3% in the summer. Support has grown among both Republicans and Democrats, though a major partisan gap

persists. Overall, Americans who are more liberal, educated, higher income, and urban are more likely to support school vaccine mandates. ● Among parents specifically, every group except young mothers and mothers of young children has become more supportive of requiring vaccination to attend school.
