COVID-19 time is a great time to assess human sentiment when it comes to resistance that was observed to get vaccine administered in USA. There was large amount of hesitancy bordering on hate to get COVID-19 vaccine and it has blown into a public health challenge. In this paper, we investigate the resistance that was observed during the initial stages on the Vaccine administration in USA from 2021. We will see there was a large demographic group leading into the year indicating that they will resist to get a vaccine, and they remained unchanged for large period of the that year. To every one surprise, the largest group which resisted the vaccine was the age group between 18-24 (27%) and when it comes to race, Blacks resisted the most (20%). Also, we also saw there was more resistance from the east coast with the west coast more inclined to get the vaccine. In this paper, we will show why there was this resistance and try to make sense why the efficacy of the vaccine took such a long time to get the epidemic and population agreeable to vaccine.
Author Keywords: COVID-19, vaccine, demographic, resistance.

Abstract
COVID-19 time is a great time to assess human sentiment when it comes to resistance that was observed to get vaccine administered in USA. There was large amount of hesitancy bordering on hate to get COVID-19 vaccine and it has blown into a public health challenge. In this paper, we investigate the resistance that was observed during the initial stages on the Vaccine administration in USA from 2021. We will see there was a large demographic group leading into the year indicating that they will resist to get a vaccine, and they remained unchanged for large period of the that year. To every one surprise, the largest group which resisted the vaccine was the age group between 18-24 (27%) and when it comes to race, Blacks resisted the most (20%). Also, we also saw there was more resistance from the east coast with the west coast more inclined to get the vaccine. In this paper, we will show why there was this resistance and try to make sense why the efficacy of the vaccine took such a long time to get the epidemic and population agreeable to vaccine.
