Yes ones I looked up today that seemed recent. I just got home from a wake so a bit tired to re-find. Really it was the sub 24 barely adults that were problematic. Much like rural areas here are.

Nearly half of adult Americans say they intend to receive a Covid vaccine, CDC study finds
A new study from the CDC says roughly 49% of U.S. adults surveyed in December said they were absolutely certain or very likely to get vaccinated.

The coronavirus vaccine is just around the corner, but many Americans — including one-third of college-aged adults — plan to hold off on getting vaccinated.

Why Young Adults Say They Won't Get a COVID-19 Vaccine
See the latest results of an ongoing Verywell survey regarding the reasons Americans will or won't get a COVID-19 vaccine, and learn why vaccine rejectors skew younger.
Survey Finds Younger Generations Have Least Amount of Trust in COVID-19 Vaccine
Emphasizing the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine to younger generations and those with no underlying health conditions could significantly increase the overall rate of vaccination in the United States.
Granted, they also say people who know someone who has been vaccinated are more likely to get the vaccine themselves, which may account for the shift @helenabear suggests.

Fantastic news!
Today I was at the wake of a dear friend who had a long life. Long and short of it, we expected few people to show up. We were surprised. It wasn't totally full mind you (they also auto use the largest room to give space) but I saw so many who I hadn't seen in over a year. Sooooo many were fully vaccinated or at least had their first dose. Granted many were retired and eligible. I can count on one hand those not vaccinated and they all were just not eligible yet. It was great to hug those who were. It's been a long year.

Registration for 40+ opens up on Monday (At least at the Florida Orange County Convention Center site)

Excellent. That will open up to many more CMs than is currently the case.

I had a bad case a year ago, was tested 3 mo later and no antibodies. Accuracy of test is up for debate but that was my experience. I don't want to go through that again so got my second 15 days ago

I have a suspicion it will end up being like in high school, when someone would say, “can I borrow your pencil?” and you never saw the pencil again.
On vaccine hesitancy, the numbers do look better the longer we go. 69% of Americans say they will get the vaccine. 65+ is up to 84% yes which is obviously very good. Black Americans are up to 61% which is a big improvement over a few months back when the vaccines were first approved. More work to do there, but encouraging to see. The gender gap has narrowed to 6% but women are still less likely to want the vaccine then men. Finally on the political front not much changed. Republicans are 27% less likely than Democrats to want the vaccine. This poll Was done prior to Trump coming out publicly to support the vaccine recently so maybe it will rise some in the next poll.

Vaccine number one is done!
Virginia finally opened the door for Group 1B (which includes vulnerable 16-64 year olds plus a long list of essential workers) to make vaccine appointments directly with some pharmacies, rather than waiting for the state to assign vaccine slots. The change acknowledges that some localities have more vaccine availability and uptake than others; the waiting list where I live in Northern Virginia is still pages and pages long. Rather than the state telling frustrated residents that they might have to drive hours to get an appointment, they are letting eligible people search for appointments online. People feel like they have some control, even if appointments are still scarce. Fortunately, putting my flying FastPass+ fingers to work, I was able to schedule one of the first expanded appointments at my local Harris Teeter grocery store.

On the subject of why someone who already had Covid would get the vaccine, some evidence points to vaccines helping to relieve the symptoms of long hauler covid survivors.

Could COVID-19 vaccination bring relief for long-haul sufferers? Researchers want to find out
10% to 30% of people who catch COVID-19 end up with long-term symptoms referred to colloquially as long-COVID.

If it comes to needing boosters in the future, I wonder how long the government will continue to pay for the vaccine?

Already buying enough for a booster for all in America, anyway.

Are we? Do we already have a commitment to buy doses of a future version of the vaccine? By boosters, I mean new versions of the vaccine that have been designed to help with variants, not more doses of the same vaccine.

I don’t know the intricacies of the contracts. But if the pharmaceuticals need to make a vaccine for a widespread variant, that’s all they’ll be making.

More on younger people getting the vaccine:
www.wsj.com
FYI, here in CT, anyone over 45 can get the vaccine now. The next group was going to be 35-44, but was just changed to 16-44. This again suggests an understanding that younger people are less likely to vaccinate.
As Covid-19 Vaccine Eligibility Expands, Interest Could Wane
Overall, the percentage of Americans saying they will definitely get a vaccine has ticked up. But willingness among younger adults is still well below that of older Americans.

The side effect of media and CDC reporting on vaccines stressing the importance of getting everyone 65+ done first implies that:
a) people under 30 are not a priority group
and therefore
b) not as important when it comes to getting vaccinated
And if you keep telling young people that they will have to wait MONTHS to get their shots, than don't be surprised if they don't think it's necessary or care. Really, everyone needs to get it because young people are both at risk of getting infected and infecting others, including the over 65 crowd.

Absolutely. They should include $10 Taco Bell gift cards in the next phase.
