DETROIT – A new study from the University of Michigan is raising an alarm after it found a majority of Detroit residents don’t think they’ll choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available.
Those from Hispanic or Latinx communities were twice as likely to say they wouldn’t get the vaccine compared to white responders.
Health experts who authored the study say the results are due to high levels of distrust in the government, doctors and news throughout those communities.
May is joining health officials’ in their plea to Detroiters to receive a coronavirus vaccine once one becomes available.
