Abstract

The AzVCN implemented a Mobile Health Unit intervention to reduce vaccination hesitancy and increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake among Hispanic rural, un/underinsured and farmworker populations in Southern Arizona. Hispanics were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a higher rate (41.9% vs 20.3%) and had received COVID-19 vaccination approximately 10% higher than non-Hispanics (93.3% vs 84.8%). Addressing structural barriers had a major impact on vaccination experiences among Hispanics.
