OU study demonstrates barriers to COVID-19 vaccination
ATHENS A new study conducted at Ohio University shows that residents of Appalachian areas, younger Ohioans and Black and Hispanic residents are less likely to agree to a COVID-19 vaccine.
A survey focused on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of Ohioans found that while 59 percent of Ohioans are willing to get a COVID-19 vaccine if one is recommended, certain populations around the state bring that percentage down. The study’s insights could be used to create communication and policy interventions aimed at increasing the percentage of the population willing to get a vaccine.
