I even have to sign a form when I get the flu vaccine giving permission to give it to me.
Ok, Flu.
Have you had a COVID vaccination, and did you have to sign for it?
Several here, including myself, have had it, and signed Nothing.

Curious if you and your friend reviewed this recent (March 2021) Gallup Poll ~
U.S. Optimism About COVID-19 Situation Reaches New High
This is a Very interesting contrasting poll, you can Goggle it by this title, it's right on the Gallup Website.
I won't take up all the room to Copy and Paste.
As for the other sources you've blended in, well...of course they aren't part of Gallup.

I hope you read the same thing I typed. I said I did not know the source and it was sent by a friend. I said she was not home when I tried to source because I don't like to throw out things without a source as many of you do here. I will tell you if I don't have a source. I have subsequently been in touch with her and she told me that it was sent to her by another person and this is all she has. I don't Goggle nowadays. I wear glasses.

Yes, thank you, I would not have commented on your post, had I not read it.
What I provided is a more recent Poll solely by Gallup, which does not include opinions from other sources.
What you shared, as you clearly show, contains a variety of
opinions not attributed to Gallup.
Information is good.

I am surprised by the number of health care workers that are hesitant to have the vaccine.
I also wonder if the number reported in that gallup poll in other countries was because a lot of the vaccine in Europe that was administered was astra-zeneca which some countries have suspended as of 3 days ago for further investigation due to mostly blood clots. Other countries also had other vaccines that we don't have currently in the us.
I think there is really no way they can attribute after vaccine deaths to the vaccine right now. I mean how can they without further testing and investigation which takes time?

I was reading this thread today then went to YouTube and this came up in my feed, from KPRC 2 Click2Houston:

My guess would be that health care workers who refuse the vax would be less educated than those who do take it. That would follow the same trends as some polls I've read.

Some just have really long memories.
"Some of the American public’s hesitance to embrace vaccines — the flu vaccine in particular — can be attributed to the long-lasting effects of a failed 1976 political campaign to mass-vaccinate the public against a strain of the swine flu virus. This government-led campaign was widely viewed as a debacle and put an irreparable dent in future public health initiatives, as well as negatively influenced the public’s perception of both the flu and the flu shot in this country."

@GrailSeeker Yes, that could be a factor. The dominant factors I have found are gender, education, where you go on Sat and Sun, and that thing we don't talk about here.
I will stick to those for making a profile of who is most likely to be carrying covid.

Two times I got the flu about 1 month after receiving the vaccine. They were much worse than anytime I had the flu when I didn't get the vaccine even though we are told the symptoms wouldn't be as bad.
So, I don't believe everything I hear.
So far the vaccine is iffy. How long will immunity last, as well? Some are saying 3-6 months just like the flu vaccine, but no one knows at this point.
Studies on these vaccines are ongoing and rightly so. Look at the form signed before the vaccine is given. It says they are experimental.
That is why I shall pass on the vaccination. If this will interfere with my life plans I will go for J&J. Maybe
