Too early to worry about the unvaccinated
A behavioral science consultant says she isn’t too concerned about the thousands of New Brunswickers who have yet to receive their first dose of aCOVID-19 vaccine.
They will be back, said Laura Scrimgeour of the Ottawa area company Strategic Bias.
According to Public Health, around 200,000 eligible for vaccines have not yet received their first dose. Almost 544,000 had their first shot and over 279,600 their second.
“There are more people who get vaccinated than people who are not very much,” Scrimgeour said in an interview with Morning Information Fredericton.
“And humans are incredibly social creatures. We behave based on what we think other people want us to do and what we see others doing to a large extent. It’s hard to underestimate power. influence our behavior. “
Scrimgeoursaidit is natural for some people to be slow to get vaccinated, compared to people who file their taxes late. She said some people might have trouble with child care, feel invincible, or spend more time online studying conspiracy theories.
Eventually, she said, these people will come because getting vaccinated has become the social norm.
But given that refractory vaccines in New Brunswick are concentrated in people between the ages of 20 and 40, Scrimgeour suggested that something is happening and worth investigating.
Depending on why they are not getting the vaccine, it may take targeted ads or mobile clinics to reach them, she said.
