It will be an effort to win the hearts and minds of those whom the world has often overlooked, from the slums of Nairobi to the favelas of Rio and every field and farm in between.
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

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clarified Tuesday that its guidance on vaccines for pregnant women remains unchanged despite remarks from CDC Director Rochelle Walenksy, who on Friday said the CDC “recommends that pregnant people receive the COVID-19 vaccine” following the release of preliminary findings of a New England Journal of Medicine study.
On Tuesday, the CDC clarified that it had not altered its guidance for pregnant woman receiving vaccines, with a spokesperson clarifying the agency’s position that pregnant women should consider the risks of exposure to the Chinese coronavirus and educate themselves on the vaccine, knowing there is “limited but growing evidence about the safety of COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy.”
Federal officials have cleared the Johnson & Johnson covid-19 vaccine for use in the United States once again, albeit with an updated label to warn of blood clot risks.

MR. ZIENTS: Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Today, Dr. Walensky will provide an update on the state of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci will highlight the latest science, and Dr. Murthy will share an update on our efforts to strengthen vaccine confidence.
But first, I want to step back to provide an overview of where we are in our vaccination program, and where we’re headed as we enter our next phase.
Our vaccination efforts to date have focused on significantly increasing the pace of vaccination. That required creating the infrastructure the people and the places for a first-of-its-kind nationwide vaccination program. It also meant creating sufficient vaccine supply that did not previously exist.
