Brogan Michigan Survey March 2021

Michigan COVID-19 Survey: • • 1, 848 interviews with residents of Michigan, ages 16 and older Ø 1, 583 online interviews Ø 265 telephone interviews African-American, Hispanic, and Middle East North African respondents were oversampled to improve analysis Ø 238 African-American Ø 114 Hispanic Ø 90 MENA • Data weighted to match sex, age, ethnicity, and region population statistics • Data weighted to reflect current statewide vaccination levels by age • Some questions can be tracked back to previous research in late 2020 • Interviews conducted 3/13/21 through 4/5/21

Definition of Vaccine Segments: Segment Definition Vaccine Definites Have already received/scheduled/tried to schedule vaccine OR “Very likely” to get vaccine and get it as soon as it is available Vaccine Persuadables Have not already received/scheduled/tried to schedule vaccine AND “Very likely” to get vaccine but not as soon as it is available or “Somewhat likely” or “not very likely” to get the vaccine Vaccine Nevers Have not already received/scheduled/tried to schedule vaccine AND “Not at all likely” to get vaccine Survey conducted March 2021

Key Findings: Vaccine Segments Definites 61% of Michigan residents 16 and older are firmly vaccination “Definites” In addition to the 31% who have already been vaccinated, 30% have either made an appointment, tried to make an appointment or are very likely to get the vaccination ASAP Persuadables Among the remaining population, we categorize 21% as “Persuadables”, those that are at least somewhat open to vaccination The Persuadables are the group that should be prioritized in messaging and outreach Nevers While some of the 13% in the “Never” group will defy their label and change their mind in the future, the data shows them to be highly unlikely to be swayed by the efforts of the MDHHS

Key Findings: Likelihood to Get Vaccine Gender Men are more inclined to be vaccinated than women 66% of men are in the Definite group and only 10% in the Never Among women 57% are Definites and 16% Nevers Age Race Michigan residents in the most vulnerable age groups are far more likely to plan to be vaccinated than the younger ages One of the biggest challenges is improving vaccination numbers among African-Americans -- only 52% are committed to getting a vaccine Nevertheless, 28% of those age 5564, and 21% of those age 65+ are not Definite for getting a vaccine Hispanics are also lower than the general population (48% Definite) but they also have a large group of Persuadable (33%) While the youngest respondents age 16 -34 are much less likely to be in the Definite group, it is encouraging that they also have relatively few in the “Never” vaccinate group The Middle East North African group (MENA) were the most likely (78%) to definitely get a vaccine While an encouraging 63% of White/Other respondents are in the Definite category, White/Other residents still represent 74% of the Persuadable population of Michigan

Key Findings: Likelihood to Get Vaccine While in November only 43% said they were “very likely” to get the vaccine, that number has increased to 65% when including those who have already started the appointment process The increase was especially dramatic among African-Americans, going from 25% to 54% Hispanics had a similar jump since November from 23% to 53% The number of people in the “get vaccine right away”/already tried to get appointment group has increased since November, from 34% to 63% There is still substantial contingent (23%) who say they will either wait until required by law/employer or not get the vaccine at all Parents have only had a modest increase in vaccine likelihood, with those “very likely” to get their child vaccinated increasing from 35 to 40%

MI COVID Alert Ø It may be difficult for health officials to reach everyone who tests positive and close contacts by phone. Ø MI COVID Alert is another, faster way to know if you may have been exposed to COVID-19. Ø The mobile app is free, easy to use, and anonymous. Ø It is a tool to stay informed and protect yourself or others from spreading COVID-19. Ø It’s important to download the app now because you must already have the app on your phone when you are exposed and before a positive result in order to receive or alert others. Ø More than 600, 000 people have already downloaded the app statewide.

RDTF could help get us there. Ø Goal: 6, 000 -7, 000 downloads per week Ø In the last two weeks, we’ve averaged 500 to 700 downloads per day, so this would be a doubling of what we’ve averaged during that timeframe.
