That doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re shrugging off the threat, though, but rather that they believe there are ways to mitigate it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the vaccinated, in particular, who want to see proof of vaccination required for things people might do, like getting on planes and entering public venues. And they overwhelmingly feel everyone shares a responsibility to help stop the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Reaction to Omicron looks somewhat similar to the reaction to the Delta variant last summer, albeit with fewer now <em>very<\/em> concerned, and it breaks along much the same attitudinal lines we&#8217;ve seen through the pandemic. For most, along with concern comes action: they tend to get vaccinations and are more accepting of public health measures. And then a relatively smaller group of Americans who say they aren&#8217;t concerned about the Omicron variant \u2014 just as they&#8217;ve been less concerned about the virus, generally \u2014 are also less apt to be vaccinated and tend to oppose those wider efforts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/2d356f0d-811f-4c43-84d1-fc67e5f595a5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/3caac89cac316d345a703c8720bab816\/confident-vaccine-protects.png#\" alt=\"confident-vaccine-protects.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/2d356f0d-811f-4c43-84d1-fc67e5f595a5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/3caac89cac316d345a703c8720bab816\/confident-vaccine-protects.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most report planning to gather with friends and family, shop and travel in some way, among other activities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/ab28f798-113b-40b6-8e84-f4d6a9b7107e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/606a1c48ae7f0d9b62c9fd624b078047\/canceled-plans.png#\" alt=\"canceled-plans.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/ab28f798-113b-40b6-8e84-f4d6a9b7107e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/606a1c48ae7f0d9b62c9fd624b078047\/canceled-plans.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/7dbbf0e1-7e1d-49bc-8d7c-d2f84a8ee85e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/a0c1a018fe3b9ea0d03c36b416cf4404\/holiday-season.png#\" alt=\"holiday-season.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/12\/10\/7dbbf0e1-7e1d-49bc-8d7c-d2f84a8ee85e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/a0c1a018fe3b9ea0d03c36b416cf4404\/holiday-season.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most Americans support the idea of proof of vaccination required for air travel and for the workplace, and those numbers rise among the vaccinated, most of whom would also look for proof required at stores and venues too.
