    Findings. Consumer and media interest in vaccination requirements increased significantly following President Biden’s announcement of a COVID-19 action plan to boost vaccination rates on September 9, 2021. Some consumers and news outlets defended the announcement, highlighting that vaccination requirements are not new; some even wished the requirements applied to more people. Other consumers reacted negatively, telling others “#DoNotComply” and claiming that vaccination requirements are authoritarian, illegal, and an attack on their personal freedoms. Some consumers expressed confusion and

    frustration with the effectiveness of the vaccines to decrease the spread of COVID-19 and protect against severe COVID-19 symptoms. Some social media users and news releases continued to pose questions about the strength of natural immunity or promoted the idea that natural immunity is superior to vaccine-mediated immunity. Social media users expressed disappointment and belief that the United States has not, and will not, contain the COVID-19 outbreak.

    Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to explain the rationale for updated guidance, 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. Clarify the parameters of the vaccination requirements and testing requirements for the President’s COVID-19 action plan. Assist consumers and employers in determining whether the vaccination requirements apply to them, provide more information about getting exemptions and verifying vaccination, and enact weekly testing protocols. Consumers continued to inquire about the payment process after receiving a bill for vaccination or being asked for their insurance.
