Former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams says there is still a lot of “misinformation circulating” around vaccines in the U.S., despite data indicating that most Americans follow their doctor’s recommendations.
A January 2025 poll by the non-profit The Partnership to Fight Infectious Disease found that nearly 90 percent of Americans with children under 18 “always or sometimes vaccinate their children based on doctor recommendations.” The survey also found 74 percent of responders believe the U.S. should prioritize ensuring Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccines are widely available for everyone and that nearly 70 percent are concerned with declining vaccination rates among kids.
