CET – Annotated Questionnaire (Wave 23)

Note: The questions below are the proposed questions for the twenty-third wave of the Weekly Current Events Tracker (CET). Questions highlighted in yellow will be asked every week; questions highlighted in blue will be rotated into the survey on a monthly basis; and questions highlighted in green are meant to be asked in Wave 23 only or are being asked again to update data on a variable of interest. We will be fielding the Public Health Information & Messaging module, and new questions around perceptions of FDA approval, health behaviors, vaccination program outcomes, as well as knowledge of one-dose outcomes.
ASPA will provide OMB with updates to the questionnaire for subsequent Waves.

approval2. Pfizer and Moderna have recently applied for full approval from the FDA for their COVID-19 vaccines. In order to granted full approval from the FDA, six months of safety data is reviewed, more manufacturing controls are put in place, and routine inspections of vaccine production facilities are conducted.

Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with the following statements.
     
//PROGRAMMING NOTE: RANDOMIZE ORDER OF SUBITEMS IN THE GRID.//  
Variable Name  
Variable Text  
Variable Label  
approval2_1
I think the FDA approval process for the COVID-19 vaccines is independent and free of outside pressure or political influence.
approval2_1: Independent review
approval2_2
If a COVID-19 vaccine is fully approved by the FDA, companies, businesses, and schools should be allowed to impose vaccination mandates.
approval2_2: Mandates allowed
approval2_3
Because six months of safety data is required for full FDA approval (compared to two months for an Emergency Use Authorization), I would have more confidence that there are not long-terms side effects from the COVID-19 vaccines.
approval2_3: Confidence in long-term safety
approval2_4
The FDA should move quicker to approve the COVID-19 vaccines.
approval2_4: FDA move quicker
approval2_5
I think more people will get vaccinated when the FDA fully approves the COVID-19 vaccines.
approval2_5: Increase uptake

vacc_prog_eval. An analysis of the U.S. COVID-19 vaccination campaign was recently conducted by The Commonwealth Fund, an independent health care research organization. Please indicate how positively or negatively you feel about the following findings from their report.
    
//PROGRAMMING NOTE: RANDOMIZE ORDER OF SUBITEMS IN THE GRID.//  
Variable Name  
Variable Text  
Variable Label  
vacc_prog_eval_1
Without a vaccination program, by the end of June 2021 there would have been approximately 279,000 additional deaths and up to 1.25 million additional hospitalizations.
vacc_prog_eval_1: Additional deaths
vacc_prog_eval_2
If the U.S. had achieved only half the actual pace of vaccination, there would have been nearly 121,000 additional deaths and more than 450,000 additional hospitalizations.
vacc_prog_eval_2: Half efficacy
vacc_prog_eval_3
If there had been no vaccination program, daily deaths from COVID-19 potentially would have jumped to nearly 4,500 deaths per day during a second “2021 spring surge” — eclipsing the observed daily peak of 4,000 during the first 2020 winter surge.
vacc_prog_eval_3: Deaths per day
vacc_prog_eval_4
There would have been an additional 26 million cases in the absence of a vaccination program, or nearly 22 million additional cases if the pace had been half as effective as it actually was.
vacc_prog_eval_4: Additional cases
vacc_prog_eval_5
As of July 2, the U.S. had administered more than 328 million vaccine doses, with 67 percent of adults having received at least one dose. The number of cases has fallen from more than 300,000 per day at the apex of the pandemic in January 2021 to less than 20,000 per day in mid-June.
