It's easy to find your locality's coronavirus vaccination rate, but what about its vaccine hesitancy rate? A new set of interactive maps from the University of Washington, using data gathered by polling done through Facebook, shows what counties (and even what Zip codes) are most hesitant to get a shot.

The maps by the university's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reflect answers to this question: "If a vaccine to prevent Covid-19 were offered to you today, would you choose to get vaccinated?" The answers are "Definitely," "Probably," "Probably not" and "Definitely not." People giving one of the last three answers are considered vaccine-hesitant.

The maps do not break down the data by individual answers, but are interactive, and can be switched to show the percentage of people saying "Probably" and "Probably not." That allows simple subtraction to produce the "Definitely not" figure for each area. Excel spreadsheets giving the data by county and Zip code can be downloaded here.
