Findings. Consumers are concerned about vaccine effectiveness due to reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases and are worried about CDC’s change in monitoring vaccine breakthrough cases. Polls and survey data suggest that some consumers who want to wait and see before vaccination might not trust CDC to provide scientifically reliable information. Consumers also don’t know if COVID-19 vaccines are effective — which undermines confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and the vaccination system. Misinformation is circulating online that people who previously had COVID-19 had severe side effects after vaccination and that natural immunity is the most effective way to protect oneself from COVID-19. Lastly, while much of the population returns to pre-pandemic life, consumers with compromised immune systems feel unprotected and vulnerable in the absence of safeguards like universal physical distancing and mask-wearing and feel uncertain how effective vaccines are for them.
Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners may wish to work together to disseminate messages about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, respond to gaps in information, and confront misinformation with science-based messaging. The goal of these efforts is to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. Communication and outreach efforts should be expanded to address concerns and questions about vaccine breakthrough cases, natural immunity, and vaccine effectiveness for those with compromised immune systems.
