They're not just Republicans.
Young people: Only a little over 50% of those aged 18-24 have been vaccinated, compared to about 90% of Americans aged 65 and older. The percentage is even less for those under 18.
According to the Economist and CDC data, the case fatality rate of COVID-19 for men and women aged between 0-35 is < 0.1 percent.
Black and Hispanic communities: 41% of Hispanics and 38% of black Americans are vaccinated, compared to 48% of white Americans.

The economically disadvantaged: The number of people who have not received the vaccine by household income.
