Just 50% of Louisianans are willing to get vaccinated for COVID-19, while 35% are hesitant and 15% are unwilling, according to a new survey by Louisiana s Public Health Institute.
LPHI surveyed nearly 1,100 Louisiana residents in February, and found that vaccine skepticism was highest among Black men and white women, but that Black women were the most unwilling to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
Much of that hesitancy stems from concerns about the vaccines safety, side effects and effectiveness, according to LPHI, as more than 90% of vaccine hesitant respondents said they were at least a little concerned about those factors. It s important to keep in mind that hesitancy is a spectrum, LPHI Managing Director Elizabeth Nauman said Thursday. Some people are interested in getting it but just want to wait and see if other people are okay after being vaccinated, while others are maybe more resistant.
