Abstract
African Americans (AAs) are disproportionately afected by structural and social determinants of health, resulting in greater risks of exposure to and deaths from COVID-19. Structural and social determinants of health feed vaccine
hesitancy and worsen health disparities.The present study aims to explore vaccine attitudes and intentions among program participants, understand the
role of an African American faith-based wellness program in COVID-19 awareness and vaccine uptake, and solicit potential
solutions for this deep-rooted public health problem.
