Next in line are Instagram users, at 31 percent, and Reddit and Facebook users, both at 30 percent.
Notably, Fox News viewers are currently more likely than users of all four previously mentioned social platforms to get vaccinated, with a reported 27 percent of viewers saying they'd probably or definitely forgo the shot — down from a 37-percent high in mid-March, reports Morning Consult.
