From mandates for health care workers, to vaccine requirements for teachers, to rules making you show proof of vaccine to eat at a restaurant, California is on an all-out push to convince more people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. However, still about a quarter of Californians have not yet gotten even one shot, leading to criticism from those who have, that the unvaccinated are selfish and stubborn and falling victim to misinformation about the vaccines. There are still many people for whom the vaccine is not easily accessible, or they are more likely to consume and be deceived by that misinformation.

Roybal Institute on Aging at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
