The share of Republicans who support childhood vaccine requirements has dropped significantly since before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, a new survey from Pew Research has found.
In 2019, 79 per cent of Republicans favoured requiring children to be vaccinated to attend public schools. Now, that number has fallen to just 59 per cent – all while the number of Democrats who support vaccine requirements for public schools has remained unchanged at around 85 per cent.
