| 總結: | Analyses of health issues facing indigenous populations often overlook their internal diversity, leading to descriptions that homogenize the various ethnic groups. Recent studies of the COVID-19 vaccination in Mexico have shown lower vaccination rates among indigenous-language speakers. To provide a context-based analysis, this article describes the factors and barriers that determined the effectiveness of vaccination coverage in two Zapotec communities in Oaxaca, southern Mexico. Retrospective interviews, ethnographic studies, and statistical analyses of official COVID-19 and vaccination data revealed that, despite their geographic, demographic, and cultural similarities, vaccine acceptance varied substantially in both communities. The article proposes hypotheses for some of the sociocultural, political, and organizational factors at the community and governmental levels that may have impacted these contrasting results.
