In many correctional facilities across the United States, COVID-19 vaccine refusal rates are as high as 50%. Most women leaving jails have low SES, health literacy, and mistrust of governmental institutions, thus exacerbating existing health disparities and making women leaving jail vulnerable. Data from 25 interviews with recently released women suggest that interventions to promote vaccines to this population will have to address health education and mitigate mistrust, misinformation, and conspiracy theories.
在美国的许多惩教设施中,COVID-19 疫苗拒绝率高达 50%。大多数离开监狱的女性社会经济地位低、健康素养低,并且不信任政府机构,从而加剧了现有的健康差距,使离开监狱的女性易受伤害。对最近获释的 25 名女性的访谈数据表明,向这一人群推广疫苗的干预措施将不得不解决健康教育问题,并减轻不信任、错误信息和阴谋论的影响。
