Studies have identified a greater reluctance for members of the Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities to be vaccinated against COVID-19 despite a higher probability of greater harm from COVID-19. We conducted an anonymised questionnaire-based study of students (recruiting primarily before first reports of embolic events) at two London universities to identify whether economic or educational levels were primarily responsible for this reluctance: a postgraduate core group (PGCC) = 860, and a pilot study of undergraduate medical and nursing students ( = 103). Asian and Black students were 2.0 and 3.2 times (PGCC) less likely to accept the COVID vaccine than White British students. Similar findings were noted in the pilot study students. As the students were studying for Master's or PhD degrees and voluntarily paying high fees, educational and economic reasons were unlikely to be the underlying cause, and wider cultural reservations were more likely. Politicians exerted a strong negative influence, suggesting that campaigns should omit politicians.
研究发现，黑人和少数族裔社区成员更不愿意接种新冠疫苗，尽管他们感染新冠病毒后遭受更大伤害的可能性更高。我们对伦敦两所大学的学生（主要在首次报告栓塞事件之前招募）进行了一项基于匿名问卷的研究，以确定经济或教育水平是否是这种不情愿的主要原因：一个研究生核心组（PGCC）=860人，以及一项针对本科医学和护理专业学生的试点研究（=103人）。亚洲和黑人学生接受新冠疫苗的可能性（PGCC）分别是英国白人学生的0.5倍和0.31倍。在试点研究的学生中也发现了类似的结果。由于这些学生正在攻读硕士或博士学位，并且自愿支付高额学费，教育和经济原因不太可能是根本原因，更有可能是更广泛的文化保留态度。政治家产生了强烈的负面影响，这表明宣传活动应避免提及政治家。
