New website debunks COVID-19 vaccine myths and urges hesitant Latinos to get the shot Daniel Gonzalez, Arizona Republic
When Arizona State University professor Gilberto Lopez and colleagues surveyed 600 Latinos in Arizona and California, they found that those in rural areas were more likely to be hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19 than those in suburban and urban areas.
The survey found that Latinos hesitant to get the vaccine were more likely to believe certain myths about COVID-19 vaccines, above all that getting vaccinated can cause infertility.
The findings troubled Lopez, who studies health inequities and disparities at ASU s School of Transborder Studies.
