\n Public health experts and political leaders who say a vaccine is our only hope of stopping the spread of the coronavirus have some work to do.<\/p>\n

One-third of Americans say they would refuse to be vaccinated, a new survey released Friday reveals.<\/p>\n

The Gallup poll asked 7,632 respondents the following question: \u201cIf an FDA-app<\/a>roved vaccine to prevent coronavirus\/COVID-19 was available right now at no cost, would you agree to be vaccinated?\u201d<\/p>\n

The results showed that only 65 percent of respondents said they would get a federally approved vaccine if it were ready today \u2014 leaving 35 percent admitting they would not.<\/p>\n

The split is roughly the same when broken down into males and females, as well as for white Americans.<\/p>\n

However, a higher percentage of minorities \u2014 who\u2019ve been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 \u2014 said they would be reluctant to take a vaccine. Fifty-nine percent of non-white respondents said they would get vaccinated but 41 percent would not.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the situation stands today, the nation\u2019s influencers \u2014 including health professionals, policymakers and leaders \u2014 who see a vaccine as a way forward may have their work cut out for them in persuading Americans to take advantage of such an option,\u201d Gallup said of the findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicymakers in government, healthcare, industry and education will need to anticipate that a significant proportion of the population will be hesitant to get a vaccine, even at no cost. Some of the most at-risk populations, including non-White and rural Americans, may not only be hesitant but resistant to getting vaccinated. Employers continuing to grapple with new workplace realities must also anticipate that a number of their workers may resist a vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Resistance to vaccinations is nothing new in the United States, which has a sizable \u201canti-vaxxer\u201d movement. Many people refuse vaccinations for religious or other reasons.<\/p>\n

Gallup noted that a poll in 1954 found 31 percent of Americans said they would refuse to get a polio vaccination.<\/p>\n

The current poll also reveals a differing of opinion across party lines.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of Democrats (81 percent) said they would get a COVID-19 vaccination, while 19 percent said they wouldn\u2019t. Meanwhile, less than half (47 percent) of Republicans said they would get a shot, while the majority (53 percent) would reject it.<\/p>\n

Fifty-nine percent of self-described independents would get vaccinated, while 41 wouldn\u2019t, the poll shows.<\/p>\n

Among age groups, the survey found that 76 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 are willing to get a COVID-19 vaccination, as are 70 percent of senior citizens.<\/p>\n

Willingness to be vaccinated is lower among the middle-aged groups \u2014 64 percent among those 30 to 49 years old and 59 percent among those between 50 and 64.<\/p>\n

The poll queried Americans from July 20 through Aug. 2 and has a margin of error of two percentage points.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s top infectious disease official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he expects millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be available early next year.<\/p>\n

More than 160,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, including over 32,000 confirmed and probable fatalities in New York state.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
