For this analysis, we surveyed 10,133 U.S. adults from Feb. 7 to 11, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone who took part in the survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way, nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

This data represents a low ebb of public concern about the virus that reached its height in the summer and fall of 2020, when as many as two-thirds of Americans viewed COVID-19 as a major threat to public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just 28% of U.S. adults say they have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ncird\/whats-new\/covid-vaccine-recommendations-9-12-2023.html\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended last fall<\/a> to protect against serious illness. This stands in stark contrast to the spring and summer of 2021, when long lines and limited availability characterized the initial rollout of the first COVID-19 vaccines. A majority of U.S. adults (69%) had been fully vaccinated by August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/science\/2024\/03\/07\/how-americans-view-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccines-amid-declining-levels-of-concern\/ps_2024-3-7_covid-19_00-01-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-121306\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f4f3f3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f4f3f3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-01.png?resize=480,691 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-01.png?resize=782,1126 782w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-01.png?resize=840,1210 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"605\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-01.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows Declining share of Americans have the most up-to-date level of protection against the coronavirus\" class=\"wp-image-121306 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underscoring the limited demand for the updated COVID-19 vaccines, a larger share of U.S. adults say they\u2019ve gotten a flu shot in the last six months than the updated coronavirus vaccine (44% vs. 28%).

In the pandemic\u2019s first year, Democrats were routinely about 40 points more likely than Republicans to view the coronavirus as a major threat to the health of the U.S. population. This gap has waned as overall levels of concern have fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to vaccination, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents remain more likely than Republicans and GOP leaners to say they\u2019ve received an updated COVID-19 vaccine (42% vs. 15%). This 27-point gap in recent vaccination is about the same as in January 2022 when 62% of Democrats and 33% of Republicans said they were up to date (i.e., fully vaccinated and recently boosted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to partisanship, age continues to matter a great deal in attitudes and behaviors tied to the coronavirus. And the intersection of partisanship and age reveals one of the biggest recent changes in the public\u2019s response to the outbreak: a growing divergence between the oldest Republicans and oldest Democrats in vaccine uptake, which is explored below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;covid-19-vaccination-among-adults-ages-65-and-older-by-party&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"covid-19-vaccination-among-adults-ages-65-and-older-by-party\">COVID-19 vaccination among adults ages 65 and older, by party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older adults continue to be one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/delivering-care\/public-health\/what-doctors-wish-patients-knew-now-about-covid-19-risk-and-age\">at-risk groups for severe illness<\/a> and death from COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/science\/2024\/03\/07\/how-americans-view-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccines-amid-declining-levels-of-concern\/ps_2024-3-7_covid-19_00-03-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-121310\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f5f4f4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f5f4f4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-03.png?resize=480,659 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-03.png?resize=782,1074 782w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-03.png?resize=840,1154 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"577\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/03\/PS_2024.3.7_COVID-19_00-03.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows Sharp decline in share of older Republicans who are up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations\" class=\"wp-image-121310 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When vaccines first became available in 2021, large majorities of <em>both<\/em> Republicans and Democrats ages 65 and older said they had received the vaccine.

Today, 23% of Americans say it\u2019s a major threat to the economy, compared with 88% in May 2020. The pandemic spurred an economic recession in 2020 and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/charts\/employment-situation\/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm\">spike in unemployment<\/a> that reached the highest levels since the Great Recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal policy on the coronavirus has changed as public concern \u2013 and the incidence of severe illness \u2013 has fallen. The Biden administration ended the public health emergency for the coronavirus pandemic in May 2023. And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/2024\/03\/01\/new-cdc-covid-isolation-guidelines\/\">CDC recently released updated guidelines with shorter isolation periods<\/a> for adults testing positive for the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While large partisan gaps characterized views of the coronavirus as a major threat to public health for much of the pandemic, those gaps were far smaller on views of the virus as a major threat to the economy. In the current survey, just a 6-point gap separates Republicans and Democrats with this view (20% vs. 26%, respectively) \u2013 similar to the 9-point party gap seen in May 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;personal-concern-about-getting-or-spreading-covid-19&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"personal-concern-about-getting-or-spreading-covid-19\">Personal concern about getting or spreading COVID-19<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About a quarter of Americans (27%) are very or somewhat concerned about getting a serious case of COVID-19 that would require hospitalization.
