A poll published by Monmouth University, USA, revealed, today, Monday, that although the majority of Americans have expressed their satisfaction with the introduction of the anti-Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine, one out of every 4 people said that they do not intend to receive the vaccine.

The university said - in a press release quoted by the American newspaper "The Hill" - "The American public has become less concerned about infection with the deadly virus since vaccines became widely available, and yet one in 4 citizens is still unwilling to get access.

Regarding the vaccine, although most of them are satisfied with the launch of the vaccine so far.”

The Monmouth University poll also found that public opinion about how state governors and federal health agencies are dealing with the epidemic is still largely dangerous even though it is no longer what it was at its start a year ago.

However, confidence in US President Joe Biden's ability to control has diminished.

On the outbreak since taking office, but it's still largely positive.

When the respondents were asked how satisfied they were with how the Coronavirus vaccine was introduced, 18 percent said they were very satisfied, 42 percent said they were somewhat satisfied, 22 percent said they were somewhat dissatisfied, and 13 percent said they were very dissatisfied.

The pollsters asked whether citizens will get the vaccine as soon as they are allowed, and in this regard, 38 percent of them confirmed that they will receive the vaccine as soon as it is allowed, and this percentage decreased from 50 percent who had confirmed the same thing last January, while 21 percent said they would see how It will turn out, while 24 percent say they will likely never get a vaccine.

"Neither the governors nor the federal health agencies have garnered the widespread praise they got at the start of the pandemic," said Monmouth University Poll Institute director Patrick Murray.
