Media Partners Ozarks First recently ran a study with Research and Analysis of Media, to understand why there is vaccine hesitancy in the area and for what reasons.
The study surveyed 153 individuals of various ages with 55-45% Male-Female Ratio.
While the study showed 72% of the folks in study had received at least one shot, all were asked about hesitancy of getting the vaccine. The reasons ranged from questions about side-effects to effectiveness of the vaccine to mistrust of the government.
Complete information on the study can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
