Vaccines and the 2024 US presidential election




JAMA Health Forum


About The Study: 

In this survey study, very few U.S. voters considered vaccines an important issue in the 2024 presidential election, but voters generally supported the government’s role in ensuring safe and effective vaccines and requiring children to be vaccinated for school. The partisan divide on vaccines reflects solid support among Trump voters compared to high support among Harris voters. A March 2025 poll showed that 68% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats support school vaccination requirements—similar to the present results.
