Effects of Government Mistrust and Group-Based Medical Mistrust on COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among a Sample of African Americans
Negative effects of group-based medical mistrust on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among African Americans may be amenable to interventions that focus on beliefs about the vaccine rather than beliefs about vulnerability to the virus. However, given its direct effect, it may be necessary to focus directly on government mistrust to diminish its effects on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.
