62% say unvaccinated people shouldn’t be able to fly on planes

Sixty-two percent of Americans believe unvaccinated people should not be allowed to travel by air, according to a new Reuters poll.

The poll also found that 55% of Americans believe unvaccinated people shouldn’t be able to workout in public gyms, go to the movies, or go to a concert.

Reuters interviewed 1,005 people on Monday and Tuesday. Fifty-four percent of respondents said they were “very interested” in the COVID-19 vaccine and 27% said they were not interested in getting it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced last week that they are not changing their travel recommendations for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The CDC still recommends that all Americans not travel.

The airline industry in response highlighted its efforts to prevent transmission of the coronavirus on board planes and its confidence in the safety of its approach. Early in his tenure, Biden made the wearing of a mask during air travel a federal mandate, rather than a requirement of US airlines.
