It would appear blacks distrust the vaccine...
Overall, more than one-third of all survey participants agreed or strongly agreed that they would not get a COVID-19 vaccine, and an additional 25% said they "don't know" if they would become vaccinated. Only 40% indicated that they planned to get vaccinated.
Participants in health care fields, including health care practitioners and those in technical and support occupations, showed higher vaccine hesitancy. Specifically, 48% of participants in health care fields indicated that they would not get vaccinated, compared with 32% of participants who were not in health care-related occupations.
Black Americans are often skeptical about the nation's health care system, a result of systemic racism. A new survey finds that Black Americans have a high level of vaccine hesitancy and mistrust of COVID-19 vaccines, including among Black health care workers.
