Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted deleterious US health inequities. Specifically, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans have and continue to shoulder a greater burden of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the US. In addition to existing racial and ethnic disparities are rural health and regional disparities. Given the disproportionate impact of disease in US communities of color and also in rural and southern regions of the US, there is no doubt that these at-risk subgroups will continue to experience higher rates of coronavirus-related mortality as well as other long-term health outcomes as compared to other US populations.

It is unknown how healthcare providers and other key at-risk subgroups within the US will receive COVID-19 vaccines. For success in immunizations, the US will need to reach their most at-risk and vulnerable populations. In addition to at-risk populations, a successful immunization strategy will involve engaging providers to support clear, consistent, and strong vaccine recommendation. It is critical to build vaccine trust, confidence, and overall acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers and key at-risk subgroups, especially given the accelerated production timeline of these vaccines. Likewise, tailored vaccine messaging for key subgroups is vital in achieving vaccine confidence and trust.

The proposed study will explore perceptions, confidence, trust, and uptake of potential COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers (nurses and doctors) and key at-risk population subgroups (minority populations living in the rural south) and will develop and test vaccine messaging that boosts vaccine confidence and trust among these key at-risk subgroups.
