A survey conducted in July, 2020 among a convenience sample of 1,971 US adults reported that preferences related to a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine were associated with vaccine attributes (e.g., vaccine efficacy, adverse effects, and protection duration) and political factors (e.g., US FDA approval process, national origin of vaccine, and endorsements). Willingness to receive a vaccination was associated with healthcare attitudes and practices, political partisanship, and demographic characteristics including age, gender, and race/ethnicity.
