This study examined the association between preferences for being informed about the COVID-19 vaccine and where to receive it with vaccination intent and race/ethnicity. We conducted an online survey, oversampling Black and Latino panel members. The 1668 participants were 53.2% female, 34.8% White, 33.3% Black, and 31.8% Latino. Participants who were vaccine hesitant (answered "not sure" or "no" to vaccination intent) were more likely to prefer a conversation with their doctor compared to those who answered "yes" (25.0% and 23.4% vs 7.8%, P < .001, respectively). Among participants who responded "not sure", 61.8% prefer to be vaccinated at a doctor's office, compared with 35.2% of those who responded "yes" (P < .001). Preferred location differed by race/ethnicity (P < .001) with 67.6% of Black "not sure" participants preferring a doctor's office compared to 60.2% of Latino and 54.9% of White "not sure" participants. These findings underscore the need to integrate healthcare providers into COVID-19 vaccination programs.
这项研究调查了对 COVID-19 疫苗信息的偏好与接种意愿和种族/族裔之间的关系。我们进行了一项在线调查，对黑人和拉丁裔小组进行了超额抽样。1668 名参与者中，女性占 53.2%，白人占 34.8%，黑人占 33.3%，拉丁裔占 31.8%。对疫苗犹豫不决的参与者（对接种意愿回答“不确定”或“否”）与回答“是”的参与者相比，更倾向于与医生进行对话（分别为 25.0%和 23.4%对 7.8%，P<.001）。在回答“不确定”的参与者中，有 61.8%表示更愿意在医生办公室接种疫苗，而回答“是”的参与者为 35.2%（P<.001）。偏好的接种地点因种族/族裔而异（P<.001），67.6%的“不确定”黑人参与者表示更愿意在医生办公室接种疫苗，而拉丁裔和白人“不确定”参与者中分别有 60.2%和 54.9%表示更愿意在医生办公室接种疫苗。这些发现强调了将医疗保健提供者纳入 COVID-19 疫苗接种计划的必要性。
