This analysis investigates how age, race/ethnicity, and geographic location contributed to vaccine hesitancy in a sample of 645 New York City (NYC) Transport Workers Union (TWU), Local 100 members surveyed in August 2020. Union members ages 50+ were 46% less likely to be vaccine hesitant than their younger counterparts (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42, 0.97). Non-Whites (OR 3.95; 95% 2.44, 6.39) and those who did not report their race (OR 3.10; 95% CI 1.87, 5.12) were significantly more likely to be vaccine hesitant than Whites. Those who were not concerned about contracting COVID-19 in the community had 1.83 greater odds (95% CI 1.12, 2.98) of being vaccine hesitant than those who were concerned. Older respondents tended to reside in Queens while vaccine hesitant and non-White respondents were clustered in Brooklyn. General trends observed in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy persist in a population of high risk, non-healthcare essential workers.
本分析调查了年龄、种族/民族和地理位置如何影响 2020 年 8 月在纽约市交通工人工会(TWU)当地 100 名成员中 645 名成员样本中的疫苗犹豫情况。年龄在 50 岁以上的工会成员比年轻成员疫苗犹豫的可能性低 46%(OR 0.64;95%CI 0.42,0.97)。非白人(OR 3.95;95%CI 2.44,6.39)和未报告种族的人(OR 3.10;95%CI 1.87,5.12)比白人更有可能犹豫不决。那些不担心在社区感染 COVID-19 的人比那些担心的人更有可能犹豫不决(OR 1.83;95%CI 1.12,2.98)。年长的受访者倾向于居住在皇后区,而犹豫不决的非白人受访者则集中在布鲁克林。在高风险、非医疗保健关键工作者人群中,观察到的 COVID-19 疫苗犹豫的一般趋势仍然存在。
