(CNN) Roughly one-fifth of Americans were initially hesitant about or squarely against getting the Covid-19 vaccine but have since gotten their shots, according to polling released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The survey reached back out to people first polled in January to see how their views on the issue had evolved. But those who did change their minds or reached decisions after initial uncertainty often decided in favor of the vaccine. By contrast, only 8% who'd been on the fence in January said in June that they'd definitely decided against getting the shot. Of those who'd decided to get the vaccine after being initially less than certain, roughly half said they had been persuaded by something they'd learned or heard, and 36% said they'd been persuaded by somebody they talked to.
