The Roots of Vaccine Fear - Me'phaa (Tlapaneco)

This message, in Me’phaa (Tlapaneco), discusses vaccine hesitancy in the community, focusing on the roots of fear.

"About the fear that leads people to not get vaccinated... In the mountains where we come from, we were afraid when they brought us to get vaccinated. We were left traumatized and now we have fear. For that reason, many people don’t want to get vaccinated against the virus that’s going around (Covid-19), but we all have to get vaccinated. For example, I got vaccinated and nothing bad happened to me. It didn’t hurt. I think all of us in the big city have to get vaccinated. In the mountains, when we were kids, we were afraid, and it left our mind afraid. Because of that maybe we avoid vaccination now, but we should all get vaccinated now to eliminate the illness that is going around. I got the first shot, then the second and then the third. I got three shots and nothing bad happened to me. I didn’t have anything at all."

Final message on poster: GET VACCINATED!
