COLUMBIA - More of the Latino/Hispanic population in Missouri is finally getting vaccinated after having doubts.
According to Missouri s vaccine dashboard, 27.1% of the Hispanic/Latino population have received the first dose, compared to 26.5% of non-Hispanic/Latinos who have started their vaccine doses.
In February, only 0.8% of the Hispanic/Latino population had started to get the COVID-19 vaccine compared to 5.6% of non Hispanic/Latinos who had started.
KOMU 8 spoke with different Latinos in the community to understand why they were hesitant to get vaccinated back when it first started in Missouri. The biggest reason was because there was little to no reliable information in Spanish to tell them more about the vaccine.
Los Angeles, Calif., Mar 5, 2020 / 10:00 am (CNA).- When Maya was just 19 years old, ISIS soldiers invaded her home in Baghdad, Iraq, and ordered that she and the rest of her Christian family either convert to Islam or pay a heavy fee to stay in their home. If they refused, they would be killed.
The family did not convert, but they tried to pay the fee. It wasn’t enough.
When the soldiers came back, they shot Maya’s brother in front of the family and kidnapped her sister. They warned that they would come back and kill the second daughter if the family did not leave or convert to Islam.
