In a poll conducted January 22 – 25, four in five Americans (80%) had heard a lot (40%) or a little (40%) about the government website to request that COVID-19 at-home tests be delivered at no cost. Compared to older Americans, younger adults are less likely to have heard about the free-test program: 30% say they have heard nothing at all..

Among those who have heard about the program, about half (47%) successfully ordered tests, while the same share (47%) did not attempt to request a free at-home testing kit. Among those who heard about the program, older Americans, those living in urban areas, 2020 Biden voters, and Democrats were among the groups of Americans that were especially likely to succeed in ordering tests. More than half of fully vaccinated adults (54%) in this group said they succeeded at ordering the testing kits, compared to just 27% of people who do not plan to get vaccinated.
