Whether parents or guardians of unvaccinated 12-to-17-year-olds plan to get them a COVID-19 vaccine, from Census Pulse in mid-2021 and its age-specific 12-to-17 item in 2022 and 2023.
AI-matched An AI model grouped these questions and mapped their answers onto shared categories, and a second AI review checked and corrected the grouping and mapping. No person has checked it: compare the question wordings and the answer mapping below before reading the lines against each other.
Latest: 19% answered “Probably will not” in Household Pulse: Likelihood of vaccinating children 12 to 17 against COVID-19, 2023.
Shares of people whose answer maps onto these categories (non-answers and answers outside the scale are left out), because surveys differ in whether they offer “don’t know.” Each column is one survey wave (or one year’s average, for frequent series), evenly spaced rather than to scale in time; hover for exact shares.
Shares of people whose answer maps onto these categories (non-answers and answers outside the scale are left out), because surveys differ in whether they offer “don’t know.” Each point is one survey wave at the middle of its field period. Lines from different surveys are never spliced together.
Groups differ from everyone by 10 points on average across all answers, in Household Pulse: Likelihood of vaccinating children 12 to 17 against COVID-19.
Groups differ from everyone by 8 points on average across all answers, in Household Pulse: Likelihood of vaccinating children 12 to 17 against COVID-19.
Subgroup charts are picked automatically. Of every breakdown in the data (party, ideology, age, sex, race, education, income, region, religion, and community type), these two put their groups furthest from everyone’s answers: the gap is averaged across all answer categories and waves, with each group weighted by its share of respondents. Party and ideology count as one choice, so the second chart shows a different kind of split. Groups with an effective sample under 50 in a wave are left out of that wave, and changes run from each group’s first wave to its last.
