Here are the results of the latest Hawaii DOH COVID-19 vaccination survey.
Some of the findings may in part explain the low vaccination for Pahoa area residents, many who have a lower than average economic and education level:
Groups indicating strong signs of hesitancy towards getting the vaccine include: lower income, under educated, younger segments of the sample, higher proportion of Native Hawaiians, and those who live with children.
A key driver in determining how Hawaii residents approach the pandemic and the vaccine process continues to be whether or not they view the primary threat in terms of its health impact or the economic fallout from the virus.
A little more than half (58%) of those polled are most concerned about the health impact of the coronavirus. One in four (26%) focuses more on the negative financial impact of the virus while one in ten (10%) are concerned most about the mental health effects of COVID-19. Lower income respondents are more likely to cite financial impacts while younger adults reveal mental health concerns. Both of these are overshadowed by the health concern focus by over half of the respondent base.
How one views the threat of the pandemic impacts the likelihood of being vaccinated. For example, among those who view the pandemic more in terms of its health impact, 77% have received the vaccine. As a point of comparison, only 50% of those who view the pandemic more in terms of its economic impact have been vaccinated.
