I believe it’s due to the way the COVID vaccine was handled. As an overly-broad rule of thumb, the right values freedom more than safety. The COVID vaccine was an example of very heavy-handed enforcement and I think whether for right or wrong the backlash has affected all vaccines.

My personal take, unrelated to politics, is that getting a vaccine for a virus from last year while the current strain has mutated isn’t a particularly stellar strategy, especially when I get the effects of the flu from the vaccine anyway.

I just roll the dice most years and I haven’t had the flu in over 10 years so it’s not worth it to me.
