Stop vaccine 'finger wagging,' top US health official says

The U.S. political divide on whether to get the coronavirus vaccine suggests that "maybe there's been too much finger wagging," said the head of the National Institutes of Health.

"I've done some of that; I'm going to try to stop and listen, in fact, to what people's specific questions are," NIH Director Francis Collins said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

An NBC News poll released Sunday showed that 82% of Democrats had already been vaccinated or plan to be as soon as possible, against 45% of Republicans.
