COVID-19 infects minority groups with comorbidities at higher rates than whites. In addition, children are at risk of vaccine hesitancy based on parents' acceptance and due to disparity. About twenty percent of workers would get vaccinated, especially if required by work.
A community survey was created and distributed in Qualtrics© to focus on vaccine hesitancy. We collected demographics, attitudes, knowledge, and acceptance of vaccines on a post-survey following COVID-19 training from July 2021 through January 2023. The number of participants in the survey was 159.
Women comprised 81.8% of the survey participants. The sample included African Americans (73.6%), Latinos (25.8%), Non-Hispanic whites (16.4%), Native Americans (1.9%), and Asians (1.6%). In addition, 93.6% spoke English and 16.4% spoke Spanish. The medical plans documented were 63% private insurance, 15.3% Medicare, 10.2% Medicaid, and 11.5% no coverage. The vaccine training post-survey demonstrated correct knowledge scores ranged from 79.2% to 94.7%. The documented attitude was 6.3% for those who did not want the vaccine, 6.3% believed the vaccine was not safe, and 10% for those concerned with the side effects.
After the training, participants gained a strong knowledge of the concepts that the trainer presented to them. A small number of individuals had a reduced attitude toward vaccination.
新冠病毒感染合并症的少数群体的比例高于白人。此外，由于父母的接受程度和差异，儿童存在疫苗犹豫的风险。约20%的工人愿意接种疫苗，特别是在工作要求的情况下。
创建了一项社区调查，并在Qualtrics©中分发，以关注疫苗犹豫问题。我们在2021年7月至2023年1月接受新冠病毒培训后的调查中收集了人口统计学、态度、知识和对疫苗的接受情况。调查参与者有159人。
女性占调查参与者的81.8%。样本包括非裔美国人（73.6%）、拉丁裔（25.8%）、非西班牙裔白人（16.4%）、美洲原住民（1.9%）和亚洲人（1.6%）。此外，93.6%的人说英语，16.4%的人说西班牙语。记录的医疗计划中，63%是私人保险，15.3%是医疗保险，10.2%是医疗补助，11.5%没有保险。调查后的疫苗培训显示，正确知识得分在79.2%至94.7%之间。记录的态度是，6.3%的人不想接种疫苗，6.3%的人认为疫苗不安全，10%的人担心副作用。
培训后，参与者对培训师向他们介绍的概念有了深入的了解。少数人对疫苗接种的态度有所转变。
