HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) – A report by QuoteWizard by LendingTree offered some insight as to why some Texans are turning down the COVID-19 vaccine.

The leading reason why Texans refused to get the vaccine was due to a worry over the side effects, as 45% selected that as a reason, according to a release by QuoteWizard.

The entire list of reasons include:

  • 45% are worried about side effects
  • 45% are waiting to see if its safe
  • 42% don’t trust COVID-19 vaccines
  • 31% don’t trust the government
  • 23% don’t believe they need it

The total won’t add to 100% because those taking the survey had the ability to select several reasons.

The report was done using data collected from Household Purse Survey and the United States Census Bureau Survey.
