Religious leaders\u2019 and family\/friends\u2019 influence was minimal. Building and maintaining trust in healthcare providers is crucial for promoting vaccine acceptance, particularly amid widespread misinformation and political polarization. Public health efforts should prioritize improving healthcare provider\u2013patient communication, utilizing trusted healthcare figures as role models, and implementing culturally tailored interventions to address hesitancy among marginalized groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/puh2.70145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]],"date-time":"2025-10-28T15:05:08Z","timestamp":1761663908000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Trust in Information Sources and COVID\u201019 Vaccine Uptake"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4864-692X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peijia","family":"Zha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nursing Science School of Nursing Rutgers the State University of New Jersey  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5914-8606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rubab","family":"Qureshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nursing Science School of Nursing Rutgers the State University of New Jersey  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6552-8223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ganga","family":"Mahat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Entry to Baccalaureate Nursing School of Nursing Rutgers the State University of New Jersey  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Le","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science New Jersey Institute of Technology  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Entry to Baccalaureate Nursing School of Nursing Rutgers the State University of New Jersey  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6059-4267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhi","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science New Jersey Institute of Technology  Newark New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm7013e3"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","unstructured":"E.Mathieu H.Ritchie L.Rod\u00e9s\u2010Guirao et\u00a0al. \u201cCoronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations \u201d (2024).
