While feelings about vaccinating children changed between the May and August polls, attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccinations for adults and masking remained stagnant, even as the highly contagious BA.5 variant caused cases and hospitalizations to rise.
Comfort around vaccinating children increased compared to a few months earlier, according to the latest Dallas Morning News and University of Texas at Tyler poll
Here’s what else the 1,384 registered voters polled by The News and UT Tyler between August 1 and August 7 had to say about COVID-related issues:Forty-seven percent of people surveyed reported wearing a mask in the last seven days, down only one point from the 48% of respondents who said they had worn a mask in the same poll question in May.
The percentage of people surveyed who said they have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster – 39% – stayed the same between May and August.“Those who got the first dose of the vaccine are continuing to go get more doses. Those who have not gotten the vaccine at all are coming to a reason that they don’t need to get the vaccine,” he said.
The COVID-19 vaccine is now available to children as young as 6 months old in a smaller dose. Are you planning for your child to receive the COVID-19 vaccine? This difference is likely attributable to the fact that children under five have only been able to get the vaccine for a couple of months, Owens said.
