Most young people eager for COVID-19 vaccine, poll shows
Vast majority of teens and young adults say they're willing or have gotten vaccinated; youth-oriented messaging will be needed to inform the rest
As older teens and young adults become eligible for COVID-19 vaccination across the country, and younger teens await their turn, new survey data suggest a strong readiness that has grown since fall.
But just as with older generations, a shrinking but still sizable minority of people age 14 to 24 say they're not willing to get vaccinated, or that their decision will depend on safety.
That makes it crucial for public health authorities, health care providers and others to create vaccination-related materials that reach young people in ways that are relevant to them.
