Aug 19, 2025

From Drew Altman

In a new “Beyond the Data” column, KFF’s President and CEO Dr. Drew Altman analyzes years of KFF polling on vaccines in light of the current controversies about them. The real problem, he says, is not lack of public confidence in the safety of vaccines — few say they are unsafe — it’s that polarization and misinformation have eroded confidence in what’s true or not, and in scientific institutions people used to rely on for…

How Could FDA’s New Guidance Affect COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage in the U.S.?

May 21, 2025

Quick Insights
