Experts say the first step in convincing a loved one to get the vaccine is understanding the reason behind it.
According to Wood, most unvaccinated Americans fall into three categories: the"vaccine apathetic," the"vaccine hesitant" and the"truly resistant."
To convince those people to get vaccinated, their friends and family members need to essentially"incentivize them to put that back at the top of the list," Wood said. "Say, I'll join the gym like you've always wanted me to, whatever it is, offer to swap healthy behaviors," Wood said."That's the kind of trade-making and emotional appeals that friends and family can make that, frankly, governments and health agencies never could."
Those who are against getting the vaccine for political or ideological reasons are the hardest group to convince, according to the experts.
