The report is focused on how public health and other stakeholders can best understand and support decision-making as individuals consider if and under what conditions COVID-19 vaccination is right for them. This project recognizes that it is critical to support decision-making among those who remain undecided about obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine at this time.
Wave three was conducted in May 2021 with the same individuals that participated in waves one and two. Participants were individuals from African American, Latinx, and American Indian communities recruited from local communities or panel survey respondents from four U.S. regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, West) who had indicated that they were undecided about their intent to vaccinate now or in the future against COVID-19. The report offers opportunities to customize approaches for a given community to foster equitable COVID-19 vaccination uptake. This project is funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and is a collaboration of AIM, NACCHO, Johns Hopkins, and other partners.
