TAMACC partners with Texas State University and ‘Shots Across Texas’ to examine and combat vaccine hesitancy among Hispanics
TAMACC has partnered with Texas State University and Shots Across Texas to examine COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Hispanics,
 
Texas State professors Jennifer Scharlach, Dr. Prisca Ngondo, and Dr. Vanessa Higgins Joyce are conducting the research. Preliminary findings from a survey show Hispanics in Texas indicated that they had no plans to get the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2022. Doubt surrounding the vaccine’s effectiveness was the main reason for respondents’ hesitancy. 
 
“The purpose of this study is threefold,” Scharlach said. “First, to figure out what are the barriers to getting the COVID-19 vaccination. Second, determine the target population’s intentions. Third, create a data-driven vaccination information campaign to implement in rural Texas in hopes of curbing COVID-19 related deaths in the Hispanic community.”
