Two-thirds of California prisoners who were offered a COVID-19 vaccine accepted at least one dose, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. We found that many incarcerated people in California prisons were willing to be vaccinated for COVID-19, said Elizabeth Chin, the lead author of the study and a PhD candidate in biomedical data science. This is an encouraging sign for other states at an early stage of rolling out vaccination programs in their prisons and jails.
The researchers also found that nearly half of those who initially turned down a COVID-19 vaccine accepted it when it was offered to them again. The finding is an important indication that vaccine hesitancy is not necessarily fixed.
Washoe County residents 12 years old and older are now eligible to receive Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, the Regional Information Center announced Thursday.
