Vaccine Hesitancy Trends

Early in the vaccine rollout, a significant percentage of Black Americans expressed hesitancy, with many opting to "wait and see." Recent polls indicate a shift, showing hesitancy among Black respondents is decreasing and is now comparable to that of white respondents. However, the pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has introduced new skepticism among some community members, highlighting the importance of tailored outreach and personal engagement to address concerns.
