Real Progress Is Possible On Vaccine Hesitancy   Drew Altman’s latest column draws on data from the new KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor to assess where the country stands on vaccine hesitancy. He writes: "Distrust of government and other institutions, especially in communities of color, will remain a real barrier,”…. but “The shares of hesitant groups that appear totally dug in are relatively modest for a new vaccine people have not seen administered safely in their communities, and many of the reasons people are reluctant to get vaccinated are remediable if they get more information from sources they trust.”   Read the “smart brevity” version in Axios and the full column on KFF.org.
