Most who want a shot have gotten one. Now comes the hard part.

Thus, the big question now is whether we can get more people vaccinated than just those who really want one. The polling suggests that about 15% of people haven't closed the door on getting a vaccine, but aren't eager to get one. If you look at the Ipsos poll again, this includes 4% who say they'll get a vaccine a few weeks after it is made available to them, 7% who say they'll wait a few months and another 7% who say they'll get the vaccine a year or more after it's available to them. The NBC News poll was similar, with 15% saying they'll wait until the vaccine has been available for a while to see if there are any major side effects. In the Monmouth poll, 12% of the population indicated that they wanted to see how the vaccine treatment went for other people before getting one. This vaccine hesitant group has been declining as a percentage of the population over time. While they made up 18% of adults in this past Ipsos survey, they were 24% in the beginning of March, 30% in the beginning of February and 38% in the beginning of January.
