Therefore, we aimed to test the impact of offering decoy alternatives-less convenient vaccination appointments-on vaccination intentions.

Evidence from previous pandemics, particularly H1N1, suggested that more cases and poorer outcomes among Indigenous Peoples was likely and that there might be barriers to Indigenous Peoples' vaccination. In this short report we consider the non-vaccination decisions of a sample of unvaccinated Métis Nation of Ontario citizens.
