We asked people their thoughts on vaccines to prepare our communities for future pandemics.
Vaccine hesitancy is not uncommon in our rural communities.
We wanted to understand WHY.
NOWINCLUDED visited Hobson City to learn about the community’s awareness of vaccines. We also took the time to understand their current knowledge about pandemics and vaccine clinical studies, including their willingness to participate in one, if given the opportunity.Â
Thank you for being part of our focus group! Check out a summary of what we gathered below.
