This is an interesting survey.
Faith-based approaches are influential among vaccine hesitant communities. More than one in four (26%) Americans who are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine, and even 8% of those who are resistant to getting a vaccine, report that at least one of six faith-based approaches supporting vaccinations would make them more likely to get vaccinated.

Are you a pro-vaxxer? It is important that as many people as possible get vaccinated, right? You know that you can't tell Christians who are hesitant or refuse to get vaccinated to suddenly stop listening to their god and get a jab. But according to the survey, there is hope that you can persuade them to get vaccinated by using a faith-based approach.
What wording do you think would work on them?

What a stupid thing to say! He wasn't being vaxxed against anything having to do with Iron, was He? It's only the idiots like you that believe in hokey religions anyway. Maybe someone should inoculate you against lead poisoning, by shooting a few bullets into your empty head!
Good one! The religious might actually believe such persuasion.
You just invented the anti-wimp movement.

The survey identifies the six faith-based approaches including:
- A religious leader encouraging vaccine acceptance
- A religious leader getting a vaccine
- Religious communities holding information forums
- Learning that a fellow religious community member received a vaccine
- A nearby religious congregation serving as a vaccination site
- Religious communities providing vaccine appointment assistance
