While vaccine hesitancy is well documented in the literature among the Latinx community, little attention or effort is given to the nuances among the members of individual communities, such as country of origin, immigration status, generational status, primary language, race, age, sex, gender, or rural residence and how these complexities affect vaccine messaging and uptake. We have evidence that this heterogeneity causes differences in access to healthcare, attitudes towards vaccines, and degree of health disparities. In this review we will describe their impact on vaccination rates in the Latinx community, highlighting missed opportunities for public health outreach, and how targeted messaging could improve vaccine uptake.
尽管在文献中已经充分记录了拉丁裔社区中存在疫苗犹豫的情况,但对于个别社区成员之间的细微差别,如原籍国、移民身份、代际地位、主要语言、种族、年龄、性别、城乡居住情况等,以及这些复杂性如何影响疫苗信息传递和接种,却很少有关注或努力。我们有证据表明,这种异质性导致了获得医疗保健的机会、对疫苗的态度以及健康差距程度的差异。在这篇综述中,我们将描述它们对拉丁裔社区疫苗接种率的影响,强调错失公共卫生宣传的机会,以及有针对性的信息传递如何提高疫苗接种率。
