TAMACC is in the News!

TAMACC partners with Texas State University and ‘Shots Across Texas’ to examine and combat vaccine hesitancy among Hispanics
TAMACC has partnered with Texas State University and Shots Across Texas to examine COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Hispanics,
 
Texas State professors Jennifer Scharlach, Dr. Prisca Ngondo, and Dr. Vanessa Higgins Joyce are conducting the research. Preliminary findings from a survey show Hispanics in Texas indicated that they had no plans to get the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2022. Doubt surrounding the vaccine’s effectiveness was the main reason for respondents’ hesitancy. 
 
“The purpose of this study is threefold,” Scharlach said. “First, to figure out what are the barriers to getting the COVID-19 vaccination. Second, determine the target population’s intentions. Third, create a data-driven vaccination information campaign to implement in rural Texas in hopes of curbing COVID-19 related deaths in the Hispanic community.”

Increase Your Businesses Profits Through Safety

In this webinar learn how having a safety program for your business can increase your profits.

Establishing a safety and health program for your business is one of the most effective ways of protecting your most valuable asset: your workers. Losing workers to injury or illness, even for a short time, can cause significant disruption and cost — to you as well as the workers and their families. It can also damage workplace morale, productivity, turnover, and reputation.
