This article was published on Friday, December 18, 2020 in ProPublica.

Few states could articulate specific measures they are taking to address the vaccine skepticism.

Black Health Care Workers Aim To Build Vaccine Trust

December 17, 2020 A Pew poll found just 42% of Black Americans are willing to get vaccinated, despite 71% knowing someone who died or has been hospitalized from COVID. SHOW TRANSCRIPT Dr. Lou Edje, family physician: We want to save lives. And this vaccine saves lives and it does it safely. As public confidence in the COVID vaccines slowly increases, Black Americans remain less likely to trust the vaccine compared to other racial and ethnic groups. And that s why Black health care workers are stepping in.
