  • Theme 1: Residents in rural parts of the United States have concerns about vaccine safety, long-term side effects, effectiveness, and necessity.
  
  • Theme 2: Differences exist in vaccine access and vaccine confidence between rural areas and suburban and urban areas.
  
  • Theme 3: Lack of government trust and the politicization of science may have contributed to lower vaccine uptake in rural areas. However, community outreach and utilizing trusted messengers can and has increased vaccine confidence in rural America.
