Data Collection and Reporting

This study looks at the results of an online survey conducted in Arkansas in July and August 2020 to measure COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy. The survey featured questions about COVID-19 health literacy, fear of COVID-19 injection, general trust or mistrust of vaccines, and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy as they relate to an individual’s sociodemographics. Results found that Black respondents with low socioeconomic status are more likely than White individuals to mistrust the COVID-19 vaccine.
