LAS CRUCES, N.M.

 (KRQE) – As New Mexico enters its second phase of COVID-19 vaccine distribution, some are still hesitant about taking the vaccine and a new study gives insight into who is more likely to feel that way. "We almost thought if we have so much of resistance to wearing a mask, as you know we did a study on that, what would happen if there was a vaccine because vaccines are somewhat invasive. They may have side effects compared to masks," said Jagdish Khubchandani, professor of public health sciences at NMSU and one of the researchers in the study.

Nearly 1,900 Americans participated in the study over the summer. It found one in five American adults are not likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine when it's made available to them. The study also found adults in rural areas, with lower-income and education levels, and those with kids at home were less likely to get a vaccine. Khubchandani also said the study found Hispanics and African Americans were also likely to get a vaccine and he said history may explain that.
