Black
Americans Are More Skeptical of a Coronavirus Vaccine
From
a newly released KFF/The Undefeated national survey on race and health, Drew
Altman discusses how systemic racism has led to striking
levels of reluctance to get a COVID-19 vaccine among Black Americans,
including those at highest risk, and the challenge it presents for ending the
pandemic. “A vaccine distribution effort that is not coupled with a credible
outreach effort in communities of color is likely to fall far short of
reaching many of the people who are most at risk,” he writes in an Axios
column. Also
available are the full analytical report based on the survey and The Undefeated’s reporting building on the findings. Filling
the need for trusted information on national health issues, KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation)
is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California. |
