I believe it's accurate that anti-vax positions are more widespread among Trump supporters. And while it's true that Trump himself got vaccinated and has spoken for it, he also didn't put much push behind it: e.g. he got vaccinated in January and it was then only revealed two months later that he did. And regarding the attitudes of his supporters, his railing of "don't trust the new administration, don't trust authorities/"the establishment"/the media ...", claims that the pharma companies were using the release of the vaccine to hurt him politically, ... play a large part in it. Similarly if you look at what a lot of his prominent supporters are doing and saying.
Associating "Trumpers" with anti-vax positions IMHO is appropriate, although I wouldn't put it as "everybody but a few Trumpers". (edit: swapped association order, this way round is better)
