New polling reveals that a clear majority of Arizona’s voters continue to support routine childhood immunizations and want politicians to protect our health.

PHOENIX, AZ, January 15, 2026— A new statewide survey reveals that more than four out of five Arizona voters across the political spectrum support traditional childhood vaccines including polio, measles, and hepatitis. A poll conducted by NextGen America Polling for Arizona Families for Vaccines reveals the following:

• 83% of all respondents support traditional childhood vaccines, with 97% of Democrats, 88% of Independents, and 68% of Republicans expressing support.

• 88% of respondents report confidence that traditional vaccines are safe, constituting 77% of Republicans, 92% of Independents, and 97% of Democrats.

• 90% of all respondents say that the most important reason to get vaccinated is to prevent serious disease and death.

• Only 11% of all respondents said they do not support traditional vaccines.

• 78% of respondents believe it is the responsibility of elected officials to protect public health, and nearly three in four say they would be less likely to support a candidate who wants to eliminate all of Arizona’s school vaccine recommendations.

Why This Matters

High vaccine rates are necessary to achieve community immunity and protect the young, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, who cannot get vaccinated themselves. Seventy percent of voters agreed that individuals who are not vaccinated put others at risk. The survey also showed wide awareness and support for school vaccine recommendations. About 72% of respondents were aware that Arizona schools require traditional vaccines but allow exemptions, and 77% support these vaccine recommendations for students. At a time when school vaccine recommendations are becoming politicized in America, it is crucial to recognize the majority of Arizonans want disease-free schools.

The statewide poll surveyed 2,725 likely voters between December 15- 17.
