HUMBOLDT COUNTY, Calif. (KIEM)- Hesitancy to get a COVID-19 vaccine has been a factor from the very start of the roll out, but what’s happening lately? How much of a role does social media play.

The first rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine was back in December of 2020 and there were many people that had their doubts about it.

For many people, after doing a little bit of research and seeing medical experts get the vaccine, it helped them have a little more confidence in it.

“The more I heard of like, nurses and medical professionals getting it, that kind of made me a little more comfortable about it,” said Heidi Solis, a student at College of the Redwoods.

A few weeks ago, there was a pause placed on the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, but this isn’t the first pause placed on a vaccine.

The Moderna vaccine was paused back in January and since that pause has been lifted, the hesitancy went away.

That hasn’t been the case with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

“I heard like all the stories about the Johnson & Johnson and how it’s causing blood clots and weird menstrual affects towards women when they are on their menstrual periods,” said Karina Ramos Villalobos, a student at Humboldt State University.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that claim has not been scientifically proven.

So, whether it’s Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson and Johnson, what matters is that you get vaccinated.

“We encourage people to explore the options of also Pfizer and Moderna if they feel more comfortable with that,” said Lindsey Mendez, a member of the COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force. “I’m just going to encourage everyone again to understand that this is a very rare occurrence and it is a safe vaccine.”
