As someone who moved from Seattle to San Diego recently, I am happy to see both areas doing very well with regards to vaccine hesitancy!

Having grown up in San Diego, I actually find it somewhat surprising how low the hesitancy is.

Why are you surprised at San Diego? I know very little about the culture there so I'm curious

[jwilber]

Because San Diego leans right, and current conservatives are more likely to be anti-vaccine [0]. (This is interesting in and of itself, as in previous years, California’s antivax tended to be rich and liberal. Times change!)

Downvoting won’t change this!

There are a lot of military and right-wingers in the San Diego area.

Until recently anti-vacccine was more a left wing thing. (it always has cut across the political spectrum)

Anti-vaxxers have traditionally been left wing but it seems that COVID has attracted many from the right wing to be anti-vaccine.
