Coronavirus disease 2019 exacerbated health inequities in Bronx Communities. This study explored vaccine hesitancy among a random sample of faculty and students from Hebert Lehman College. Findings suggest faculty are largely vaccinated (87%), while 59% of students are unvaccinated. Significant gaps in information were found related to safety and complications. This suggests universities need to adopt an educational model with a multipronged social support strategy to gain students' trust and a greater sense of belonging.
2019年冠状病毒病加剧了布朗克斯社区的健康不平等。本研究对赫伯特·雷曼学院的教师和学生随机样本中的疫苗犹豫情况进行了探索。研究结果表明,大部分教师已接种疫苗(87%),而59%的学生未接种。在疫苗安全性和并发症方面发现了显著的信息差距。这表明大学需要采用一种具有多方面社会支持策略的教育模式,以赢得学生的信任和更强的归属感。
