With President Donald Trump having threatened school vaccine mandates for children during his campaign, a new survey finds that nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults support requiring that children be vaccinated against preventable diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella.
Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of PennsylvaniaJan 29 2025 To protect children who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, over half of Americans also support states prohibiting other unvaccinated children from attending school, either private or public. However, support for this prohibition has dropped significantly since the spring of 2019, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
And on Day One, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, and I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.His nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The APPC survey findings are based on a nationally representative panel survey of 538 U.S. adults fielded from Jan. 3-5, 2025, with a margin of sampling error of ± 5.2 percentage points. It is compared here with a nationally representative panel survey of 2,344 U.S. adults conducted from April 18-May 13, 2019, with a margin of error of ± 2.
In addition, the percentage of those who "strongly support" school-related vaccination requirements has fallen sharply, from nearly half of U.S. adults in 2019 to barely a quarter in January 2025. Nearly 4 in 10 say they would support a state policy that would allow parents to choose not to vaccinate their children for religious reasons, almost double from 2019, when 20% said they would support this policy. In 2019, 63% said they would oppose states allowing parents to choose not to vaccinate their children on religious grounds, while 41% said they would do so in our 2025 survey.
