Even with COVID vaccinations back on the upswing, hesitancy lingers: About 90 million Americans are eligible for the vaccine now but have not gotten it, with many just outright refusing to be vaccinated.
Hesitancy is sometimes used as a coping mechanism, believes Molly Allen, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in Wichita, KS. Some of her hesitant patients ''are overly focused on the immediate negative experience rather than the long-term benefit [of protecting health]."
"A lot of conservative Christians are hesitant," she says."I started praying about the decision. If I am meant to get it, I need to feel more at peace." "He said these long-term effects [of vaccines that she worried about] show up within 6 weeks of getting the vaccine. That spoke volumes to me,” she says.
"It's incredibly heartening," he said, praising Greenaway's decision."She's saying, 'It's not just [about] me. I can spread it to my mother or my child. For a contagious disease, you aren't just making a decision for yourself."CDC:"COVID-19 Vaccinations in the United States."Robin Mejia, PhD, assistant research professor of statistics and data science, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh.
