A nationally representative longitudinal survey (n=8,167) found that self-reported likelihood of getting a COVID-19 vaccine declined from 74% in early April to 56% in early December. Declines were observed in likelihood of vaccine uptake for both women and men and in all age, racial/ethnic, and education subgroups. As of December, the self-reported likelihood of vaccine uptake was lower among women than men (51% vs 62%) and Black than white individuals (38% vs 59%). Likelihood of vaccine uptake was higher among adults aged ≥65 years than those 18-49 years (69% vs 51%), and among individuals with at least a bachelor’s degree compared to those with a high school education or less (70% vs 48%).
