Investigators from East Carolina University Report New Data on COVID-19 (Messaging Preferences About the Covid-19 Vaccine Among Adults In Eastern North Carolina)

2024 SEP 26 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx COVID-19 Daily -- Data detailed on Coronavirus - COVID-19 have been presented.

Article Description

Racially and ethnically diverse populations and individuals residing in rural areas were disproportionally impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and Eastern North Carolina (ENC) is one region where such impacts were apparent. To understand at-risk individuals’ perceptions and hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccines and the preferred means of receiving vaccination-related messages, we conducted four qualitative focus groups (N = 40) with diverse rural ENC residents. The analysis of the focus group transcripts revealed five themes: (1) reasons people trusted the COVID-19 vaccines, (2) reasons people mistrusted the COVID-19 vaccines, (3) the best means to deliver messages regarding COVID-19 vaccination, (4) the individuals trusted most to deliver such messages, and (5) the decisions people made regarding whether to get vaccinated and how that was connected to God. By incorporating participant perspectives and preferences in receiving messaging into campaigns, there is a potential for greater vaccine uptake.
