Attempts to get as many people as possible vaccinated have intensified as the Delta variant continues to spread throughout the country, write Julie Bosman, Jan Hoffman, Margot Sanger-Katz, and Tim Arango for The New York Times.

The group that is adamant in their refusal of getting the vaccine consists of people who are disproportionately white, rural, evangelical Christian, and politically conservative.
