[Pre-print, not peer reviewed] Willingness to receive a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine declined from 71% in April to 54% in October among US adults, according to longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample (n=7,547). The decline was primarily driven by an increase in participants undecided about being vaccinated and unwilling to be vaccinated. Participants without a college degree, Black participants, and females were more likely to be undecided or unwilling. Among those unwilling to be vaccinated, 65% were concerned about lasting health problems compared to 27% of those willing to be vaccinated.
