Vaccine rates lowest among CHamorus, regional migrants
By Steve Limtiaco
Although the island’s overall vaccination rate is high, it’s very low among two ethnic groups CHamorus and people from the Federated States of Micronesia said Dr. Hoa Nguyen, chairman of the governor’s Physicians Advisory Group.
The island is nearing the governor’s goal of fully vaccinating 80% of adults by July 21, with more than 76% vaccinated.
But Nguyen said the vaccination rate for CHamorus is only about 20%, and the vaccination rate for the island’s FSM community is “somewhere in the teens.”
“Everyone is scratching their head right now on how to approach the (CHamoru) population,” Nguyen said.
