This is How Many People Are Refusing the COVID-19 Vaccine in Washington
Recent surges of the delta variant in much of the United States are attributable in part to vaccine hesitancy.
According to a recent survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, 24,260,000 Americans -- or 9.7% of the 18 and older population -- say they will either probably or definitely not get the vaccination.
Many Americans who have yet to be vaccinated cite one of three reasons: either they are concerned about possible side effects, or they want to wait to see if it is safe, or it is difficult for them to obtain a vaccination. Others cite different reasons.

In Washington, an estimated 481,100 adults, or 8.2%, say they will likely refuse the vaccine. Of all adults in the state, 5.9% will refuse because they do not trust the COVID-19 vaccine specifically, 2.8% because they do not think COVID-19 is a big threat, and 4.6% because they distrust the government.
Despite pockets of resistance, Washington is doing a better job at vaccinating its population quickly than most states. So far, 61.5% of Washington’s population are fully vaccinated, compared to 56.4% of all Americans.
