Once-hesitant residents get COVID-19 vaccinations
|
A recent University of Michigan survey, which was supported by Michigan CEAL, found an increase in vaccinations among Detroit residents who were once hesitant to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The results show that vaccination outreach efforts aimed at the city’s vaccine-hesitant population had some success. Of the 1,630 surveyed, nearly two-thirds reported they had received at least one dose of the vaccine prior to July 2021. Among the remaining 36% of respondents, 10% reported that they received their first vaccination by December 2021.
