   Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the world, many Americans believe they know someone who died from the vaccine that promised to stop the virus.

   The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 19% of American Adults say they know someone personally who died from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Seventy-four percent (74%) don’t know anyone whose death they blame on the vaccine. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

   Last month, AstraZeneca admitted that its COVID-19 vaccine could cause a rare but deadly blood-clotting condition. Many Americans have long expressed concerns about side effects from the vaccines. In a December 2022 survey, for example, 49% believed it was likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines had caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.

   The survey of 1,250 American Adults was conducted May 20-22, 2024 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

   Forty-two percent (42%) say they know someone personally who died from the COVID-19 virus, while 53% do not.

   Sixty-seven percent (67%) say they received a COVID-19 vaccine and, of those that got the vaccine, 76% also got a booster shot.

   Among those who got both the COVID-19 vaccine and a booster shot, slightly more (48%) say they knew someone who died from COVID-19, compared to 41% of those who did not get the vaccine.

   The unvaccinated were about twice as likely as those who’d gotten the COVID-19 vaccine to say they know someone who died from side effects of the vaccine. Among those who did not get a COVID-19 vaccine, 29% say they know someone personally who died from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to 14% of those who did get the vaccine and 13% of those who got both the vaccine and a booster.

   Democrats (86%) were more likely than Republicans (54%) or those not affiliated with either major party (62%) to have gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 and, among those who did get the vaccine, Democrats were also more likely to have gotten booster shots.

   Republicans (29%) are almost twice as likely as either Democrats or the unaffiliated (both 15%) to say they know someone who died from vaccine side effects.

   Older Americans are much more likely than those under 40 to have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, and also more likely to say someone they know personally died from the virus. Those under 40 are somewhat more likely than their elders to say they know someone who died from side effects of the vaccine.

   More men (70%) than women (64%) say they got the COVID-19 vaccine, but men under 40 are least likely to have been vaccinated against the virus.

   Thirty-eight percent (38%) of whites, 45% of blacks, 55% of Hispanics and 39% of other minorities say someone they know personally died from the COVID-19 virus. Hispanics are most likely to say they know someone who died from vaccine side effects.
