Poll: Only Half In US Want Shots As Vaccine Nears


Listen Later

A new poll finds only about half of Americans are ready to roll up their sleeves for COVID-19 vaccines even as states frantically prepare to begin months of vaccinations that could end the pandemic. Plus, as cases of COVID-19 increase around California and the country, Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians have the highest prevalence of the disease. And KPBS looks back at outgoing San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer’s wins and losses during his tenure. Then, KPBS spoke with Faulconer about his nearly seven years in office, his potential run for governor in 2022 and his decision to vote for President Donald Trump in the November election.
