CNN: Trump advisers urge him to make pro-vaccine PSA
Former
President Trump's advisers are encouraging him to make a pro-vaccine PSA amid signs Republican voters are wary of getting a vaccine shot,
CNN reported Monday.
In a March survey by
Kaiser Family Foundation, which polled 1,862 adults, 29 percent of Republicans were found to be hesitant of getting the vaccine, while 6 percent said they would get it if required to.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” last week, Trump told host
Sean Hannity that he would be interested in doing a commercial about the vaccine. Trump also mentioned that he has gotten his vaccine shot.
"They want me to make a video," Trump said to Hannity. "They want me to do a commercial saying take the vaccine, and they think that's very important and I'd certainly do it."
"Vaccines are widely regarded as one of Trump's greatest accomplishments, and Trump understands that this legacy is at risk because half of his supporters are not taking the vaccine," one of the officials told CNN. "It's just not clear yet if he understands that he's the only one who can fix this."
