The Biden administration’s planned $1.5 billion effort to encourage people to get coronavirus shots will focus, among other things, on resistance among conservatives, according to The Boston Globe.
Recent polls – including one that found about half of Republican men would refuse a shot – underline why that’s key.
An NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll found that 41 percent of Republicans and 34 percent of independents would refuse to get vaccinated if they could get a shot.
