State officials say it's a strong indication that attitudes about the vaccine are rapidly shifting since vaccinations began in mid-December. The survey was commissioned by the state Department of Health. According to its results, 55% plan to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible, while 36% say will wait before receiving their vaccination. Previous survey conducted by the DOH and University of Hawaii before the vaccinations were being administered showed about 50% of residents would accept the COVID-19 vaccine. The other half indicated they did not plan to get vaccinated or were still undecided.
