Rural residents reluctant to get vaccines: study
By Bill Knight
Trips to the store might show that most folks are serious taking pandemic precautions, from wearing masks to keeping safe distances, but a new study says many rural residents nationally aren’t concerned about COVID-19, think the threat is exaggerated, or consider their responses a personal choice instead of a civic responsibility.
About one-third of rural residents are reluctant to get vaccinated, according to Kaiser Family Foundation, more so than city or suburban dwellers (27% and 25% respectively). Respondents said they probably wouldn’t or definitely wouldn’t get the vaccine, even if it’s free, safe and effective.
