Poll: Most Americans support restrictions on unvaccinated people

More than half of Americans believe that unvaccinated people should not be allowed back in the office or use public spaces.

A growing number of people in the United States want to get the coronavirus vaccine, and a majority also support workplace, lifestyle and travel restrictions for those not inoculated against COVID-19, according to a poll released on Friday. The national opinion poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos found that 54 percent of respondents said they were “very interested” in getting vaccinated. That was up from a January survey, when 41 percent expressed the same level of interest, and 38 percent in a May 2020 poll before a coronavirus vaccine was developed. Amid a limited supply of vaccination doses, most states are currently still prioritising front-line workers, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.
