This comes after reports that President Joe Biden’s government should start with federal distribution plans from scratch, as former President Donald Trump and his team have left little or no framework.

“The Biden administration has left a huge challenge for vaccine administration. Most Americans do not know when or where they can get a vaccine, including older Americans who are already eligible to be vaccinated in an increasing number of states,” said KFF. President and CEO Drew Altman said.

The report, based on surveys conducted from January 11 to 18 with 1,563 adults, suggests that Americans experience a variety of emotions from vaccine vaccination. Half of the people surveyed said they were ‘frustrated’, a third said they felt ‘confused’ and almost a quarter were ‘angry’.

Of the essential workers surveyed who have yet to be vaccinated, the survey found that 55% said they had enough information on where to get a vaccine. But 55% do not have enough information about the time they are eligible.

In addition, 21% of health workers surveyed who were not vaccinated said they did not have enough information on when to get vaccinated.

The big interests of Biden's new Covid-19 plan

According to the report, adults among blacks, Hispanics and lower-income earners are among the least informed groups. At least 6 out of 10 say they do not have enough information about vaccination sites, and at least two-thirds say they do not have enough information about when they can vaccinate.

About half (48%) of the public surveyed expect the distribution of vaccines under Biden’s administration to ‘improve’, while most others expect the situation to ‘remain roughly the same’ (36%). Relatively few (12%) expect the distribution to “get worse”, according to the survey.

Despite the problems so far spread, two-thirds of respondents remain ‘optimistic’ about the vaccinations in the US.

Respondents were less satisfied with the efforts of local officials. Regardless of personal politics, most of the participants in the survey – 60% – considered the performance of their state government on vaccines to be fair or poor.
