監獄是冠狀病毒熱點，去年有388,000多名囚犯和10萬名員工感染冠狀病毒;儘管疫情暴發，美國全國各地的獄警仍拒絕接種冠狀病毒疫苗
出於對疫苗的短期和長期副作用的擔憂，美國各地的懲教人員都迴避冠狀病毒疫苗。
根據美聯社和法警項目的調查，雖然横跨29個系統有106,000多名監獄工作人員已經接受了至少一劑疫苗，約佔總人數的3分之1左右, 其餘的許多人都不會接種。
此外還有無數與公眾接觸的醫護人員、療養院員工以及警察都有著同樣的担心。
Prison Guards Across Country Refusing COVID Vaccine Despite Outbreaks
MAR 18, 2021
Correctional officers across the country are shunning the COVID-19 vaccine over fears of both short-term and long-term side effects of the most rapidly-developed immunization in US history.
According to an investigation by the Associated Press and the Marshall Project, while over 106,000 prison employees across 29 systems have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, many won't take it - joining countless health care workers, nursing home employees and police officers who refuse to become vaccinated despite regular exposure to the public.
Prisons are coronavirus hot spots, so when staff move between the prisons and their home communities after work, they create a pathway for the virus to spread. More than 388,000 incarcerated people and 105,000 staff members have contracted the coronavirus over the last year. In states like Michigan, Kansas and Arizona, that's meant 1 in 3 staff members have been infected. In Maine, the state with the lowest infection rate, 1 in 20 staff members tested positive for COVID-19. Nationwide, those infections proved fatal for 2,474 prisoners and at least 193 staff members. -AP via Komo News
