New data shows the new mask guidance has increased interest in COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S.
During that time, numbers from vaccines.gov show interest in getting vaccinated shot up. After the announcement, the number of visits to the website hit its second highest since the site’s launch.
Actual vaccinations also went up after declining for nearly one month though it is not clear if that had anything to do with the mask guidance.
