Addressing Concerns About COVID-19 Vaccines, Clinical Trials

Date Time Addressing Concerns About COVID-19 Vaccines, Clinical Trials It will require 80-85% vaccine participation for the country to reach population immunity, according to public health experts. Bettina Beech, UH associate provost for strategic initiatives and population health research and College of Medicine professor With COVID-19 surging across the country and more Americans expressing skepticism over the safety and effectiveness of new vaccines, University of Houston researchers are working in underserved communities to identify solutions for vaccine hesitancy, perceptions of new home-based testing and participation in vaccine clinical trials. The work is part of a coordinated outreach effort funded by the National Institutes of Health targeting ethnic and racial minority communities who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Mistrust of government is significant roadblock to Black American vaccination efforts

Mistrust of government is significant roadblock to Black American vaccination efforts Marty Johnson © Getty Images Mistrust of government is significant roadblock to Black American vaccination efforts The rollout of the first approved COVID-19 vaccine this week is raising questions of when the game-changing inoculations will be ready for everyday Americans. But for communities of color, especially Black communities, that carry a deep-seated mistrust of the government, the question is if they will take the vaccine at all. The mistrust isn t surprising. From the early to mid-20th century, tens of thousands of nonwhite women were sterilized by the government. For four decades, the government ran what is known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study in the deep South exclusively on Black men. Researchers never received informed consent from the participants, nor offered them treatment for the disease even after penicillin became the main form of treatment for syphilis.

Mistrust, disinformation on Covid vaccine among Latinos worries Hispanic doctors

Mistrust, disinformation on Covid vaccine among Latinos worries Hispanic doctors Carmen Sesin © Provided by NBC News MIAMI As vaccinations against the coronavirus begin to roll out across the country, Dr. Olveen Carrasquillo says he s been getting many questions from his predominantly Latino patients, including whether the vaccine contains the virus and whether there are side effects to taking it. “People are not sure what’s in the vaccines. They want to know,” said Carrasquillo, the chief of general internal medicine at the University of Miami and one of the principal investigators for the Janssen vaccine trial. Covid-19 has hit U.S. Latinos disproportionately hard in many areas of the U.S., making vaccinations a crucial public health mission. But doctors like Carrasquillo are hearing skepticism about the vaccines because of the lack of reliable information, especially in Spanish, coupled with disinformation that has been circulating.
