ATLANTA, Georgia — A new survey shows that despite the recent pause of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, half of those who responded still believe that coronavirus vaccines are safe.
The results of the SurveyUSA poll show that a combined 62 percent said they think the coronavirus vaccines are very safe or mostly safe.
While most of those surveyed appeared to trust the coronavirus vaccines, many Georgians still showed skepticism.
Unsurprisingly, over 40 percent of those surveyed in the poll said they are probably or definitely not going to get vaccinated.
The poll, conducted online from April 19 through April 22, was of a national sample of 600 adults over 18 who live in Atlanta.
