The Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and Interfaith America (IA) released a survey on July 27, 2021, expanding on findings from the March 2021 PRRI–IA Religion and the Vaccine Survey. Together, these PRRI–IA surveys show that faith-based approaches continue to offer opportunities to encourage vaccination.
This survey shows that vaccine hesitancy has decreased among all Americans, including across all religious and demographic subgroups.
