Americans who are unvaccinated against Covid-19 are largely driven by a mistrust of the government and fears over vaccine side effects, a new poll reveals.
Change Research surveyed 1,775 respondents for CNBC from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 about Americans' views on Covid vaccines, President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump and various other issues.

"What more is there to wait for? What more do you need to see? We've made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine has FDA approval, over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot," Biden said. "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and the refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing."
Growing vaccine hesitancy could make it difficult to reach the up to 90% vaccination rate that some health officials have suggested is necessary to achieve nationwide herd immunity to Covid. "There does appear to be something specific to COVID-19 at work as well, because 56% of the unvaccinated report having received a flu shot in the past," the poll said.
