Abstract

Of 4133 persons surveyed at a low-barrier coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test site with high positivity in an urban Latinx community in January 2021, 86% indicated that they would accept a COVID-19 vaccination. The top reasons for vaccine hesitancy included concerns around side effects and safety and distrust of health care systems.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; vaccine acceptance.
