Bustos and Fauci Discuss Vaccine Hesitancy in Rural Areas

Share

Western Illinois Congresswoman Cheri Bustos discusses vaccine hesitancy in rural communities with Dr. Anthony Fauci. The conversation occurred this week during a Labor-Health and Human Services-Education Subcommittee hearing.

According to a recent Gallup poll, some of the top reasons people refuse to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus include–the desire for additional evidence of its safety, the belief that the virus will not seriously impact them and the misunderstanding that since they have already had COVID-19, they do not need the vaccine.

In Illinois, eight of the 15 least-populated counties are also among the 15 lowest-vaccinated counties
