Influence of respiratory disease experiences on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance: a study from Southeastern Louisiana
Participants with respiratory illnesses and those with positive vaccination histories, particularly regarding influenza, showed a higher likelihood of accepting the latest COVID-19 vaccines. However, significant obstacles to vaccine uptake persist. Tailored public health efforts that address these concerns are crucial to improving vaccine rates, particularly among hesitant groups.
