Survey: Nearly half of adults don’t plan to get H1N1 vaccine

Survey

An interesting breakdown on demographics about vaccinations.

I hadn't considered breaking it down in this way before.

Southerners (69 percent) are also more inclined than adults who live in other areas to skip the vaccine, about 10 points higher than adults in other regions. Adults who identify themselves as Born Again Christians also are more likely (69 percent) to skip the vaccine than non-Born Again Christians (55 percent).

Interesting to say the least. I wish there was even more of a demographic breakdown here.

It is interesting to see how religion and region affect how people will respond to different issues. The Southern states are known for being more of a "Bible Belt" area, so perhaps both statistics are related?

Somewhat I guess. It might also have to do with rural versus city. People that live in rural areas might be less likely.

I wish they'd gone further with the demographics, male, female, race... etc. I find it interesting to see how it breaks down.

99.3% of conspiracy theorists won't take the vaccine.
