Vaccine Reluctance Is Waning, But Still Significant, New Poll Finds
The Associated Press
So few people came for COVID-19 vaccinations in one county in North Carolina that hospitals there now allow anyone 16 or older to get a shot, regardless of where they live. Get a shot, get a free doughnut, the governor said.
Alabama, which has the nation s lowest vaccination rate and a county where only 7% of residents are fully vaccinated, launched a campaign to convince people the shots are safe. Doctors and pastors joined the effort.
On the national level, the Biden administration this week launched a We Can Do This campaign to encourage holdouts to get vaccinated against the virus that has claimed over 550,000 lives in the U.S.
The majority surveyed either said they wanted to wait before getting the vaccine or would refuse one.
“This is a population already at risk for COVID-19, and outbreaks among incarcerated people can worsen inequities in COVID-19 outcomes as well as contribute to spread in the surrounding community,” says lead author Marc Stern, affiliate assistant professor of health services in the University of Washington School of Public Health. “So culturally and health-literacy informed interventions are needed to help them feel more confident about getting vaccinated.”
For the study in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, researchers surveyed more than 5,000 inmates, men and women, in late 2020 from three prisons and 13 jails in Washington, California, Florida, and Texas.
