COVID-19 vaccine concerns: Respondents were then asked to select any concerns they have regarding the COVID-19
vaccine for adults (18+) and children and teens (5-17). This data is displayed in Exhibit 75. The most commonly cited
concerns for adults were believing the COVID-19 vaccine will be harmful or cause side effects, other concerns not listed,
and medical conditions, respectively. Being worried about the COVID-19 vaccine being harmful or having side effects and
other concerns not listed were also cited as concerns for children and teens receiving the vaccine, although not knowing
which vaccine is best was ranked as a greater threat than medical conditions. These results are the same as the overall
report.

Pandemic effects on family: Lastly, respondents were asked to rank how the pandemic has affected their family’s
physical health, emotional health, and finances since February 2020. Response options were better, worse, or no change.
The results of this question are shown in Exhibit 76. The majority of responses indicated their family’s emotional health
and finances had worsened as a result of the pandemic, while most reported no change in their family’s physical health
due to the pandemic. For emotional health and finances the second highest response was no change, while the second
highest response for physical health was worse.
