    Summary

    Findings. There continues to be strong backlash against the idea of digital vaccine passports and potential vaccine mandates. A growing number of businesses, including colleges and universities, airlines, cruise lines, and sports venues, say that they will require proof of vaccination for entry or services. However, about half of the U.S. population strongly opposes any type of vaccine verification system, with consumers largely divided along party lines. Additionally, coverage of vaccine hesitancy is increasing as the media reports that vaccine supply exceeds demand in some communities and recent data suggests that vaccine demand and coverage may plateau as soon as late April. News and social media coverage of hesitancy, vaccine surplus, and the looming threat of not reaching population immunity may undermine intentions to vaccinate by fostering the perception that controlling COVID-19 is outside one’s control.

    Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to increase transparency, respond to gaps in information, and confront misinformation with evidence-based messaging. The goal of these efforts is to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. Efforts should be made to continue to amplify information about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.
