Although the federal government has made official recommendations to the public advocating vaccinations against COVID-19 various communities have decided against doing so. In this regard, various studies have indicated that trust in government to provide accurate information about vaccines during a pandemic are related to whether people get vaccinated. Various studies have investigated factors contributing to vaccine decision-making, but none specifically focus on Hispanic and Latinos in the United States. This study identifies factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination among Hispanics and Latinos using a nation-wide, phone-based survey. Using data generated by the Kaiser Family Foundation's COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor, collected in June 2021, a logistic regression on the decision to get vaccinated, trust in various governmental actors, in addition to demographic variables such as age, race, employment status, parental status, employment status, and income are observed to be significant in Hispanics' and Latinos' decision to be vaccinated against COVID-19. As a byproduct of these findings, recommendations for future research are provided that relate to expanding our understanding of these factors among different ethnicities of Latinos.
尽管联邦政府已向公众发布官方建议，倡导接种新冠疫苗，但各个社区却决定不这样做。在这方面，多项研究表明，在大流行期间对政府提供有关疫苗准确信息的信任程度与人们是否接种疫苗有关。多项研究调查了影响疫苗决策的因素，但没有一项专门针对美国的西班牙裔和拉丁裔。本研究通过一项全国性的电话调查，确定了与西班牙裔和拉丁裔接种新冠疫苗相关的因素。利用凯撒家庭基金会2021年6月收集的新冠疫苗监测数据，对是否接种疫苗的决策、对不同政府行为体的信任以及年龄、种族、就业状况、父母身份、就业状况和收入等人口变量进行逻辑回归分析，结果发现这些因素在西班牙裔和拉丁裔接种新冠疫苗的决策中具有重要意义。作为这些研究结果的副产品，还提供了未来研究的建议，这些建议与加深我们对拉丁裔不同种族群体中这些因素的理解有关。
