In addition, a quarter of vaccine-hesitant respondents reported using Twitter, whilst almost 40 percent of vaccinated or planning to be vaccinated respondents reported using Twitter. For Facebook, vaccine-hesitant respondents were slightly more likely to be users of the platform, whilst Instagram was marginally more popular with vaccine-willing respondents.
