“…While some HHWs voiced appreciation of the $100 incentive offered by NYC, hesitant workers in our study group overall felt skepticism toward a government-funded incentive. It is important to note the historical context of unethical experimentation and exploitation in the United States of people who identify as Black, indigenous, and people of color, such as with the Tuskegee Study, as well as personal encounters with the health care system, which may contribute to mistrust in the medical system 9,34 .

Objective This study aimed to identify characteristics surrounding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and trust in home health workers (HHWs) in New York City. Methods Data was collected from HHWs through focus group sessions conducted via Zoom. We developed a facilitator guide using the 5C Scale, a validated psychometric tool for assessing vaccine hesitancy. We performed qualitative thematic analysis using a combined inductive and deductive approach. Results Major themes that emerged included: conflicting information decreased vaccine confidence; individualized outreach is valued when information gathering; mandates and financial incentives may increase skepticism; low health literacy and conflict in personal relationships are barriers to acceptance; and experiencing a severe infection and fear of exposure at work increase acceptance. Conclusion Based on our study, personalized yet consistent messaging may be key to reaching hesitant HHWs.
