The CDC has rated Goodhue and Pierce County with moderate to low COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Health leaders urge residents to have open conversations with those who are hesitant about getting the vaccine, but are willing to learn more.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released their estimates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the United States.
Minnesota overall received a moderate rating with Goodhue Countyâs estimated hesitancy at 12%. This means that 12% of Goodhue Countyâs population is hesitant to receive any vaccine- Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson.
âWe are seeing declining interest in our vaccination clinics,â Jessica Seide, a community health specialist for Goodhue County Health and Human services, said. âWe do not know how much of that decline is due to hesitancy or other reasons.âÂ
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is pushing Facebook and Twitter to clamp down on coronavirus vaccine misinformation campaigns that are targeting pregnant women.
