No Increase in Vaccination Rate in June

Seventy-nine percent of adults aged 18 or older say they have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, according to the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey fielded June 9-21. The percentage of adults who said they had received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine was unchanged from the previous iteration of the survey fielded May 26-June 7. 

Percent who have received at least one dose of Covid vaccine as of June 9-21
Total 18-plus: 79%
Aged 18 to 24: 72%
Aged 25 to 39: 70%
Aged 40 to 54: 77%
Aged 55 to 64: 85%
Aged 65-plus: 91%

The stability in the numbers over the month of June suggests that the United States may be at the end of the road regarding vaccination unless it becomes mandatory at schools, workplaces, and other venues. 

Of the 52 million adults who have yet to receive a Covid vaccine, only 10 million say they probably/definitely will get vaccinated. The number who say they probably/definitely will not get the vaccine was unchanged from the previous survey at 27 million. Another 14 million say they are unsure about getting the vaccine, the same as before.
