Health officials encourage minorities to get COVID-19 vaccine
Health officials and organizations, including Health Forward, are trying to encourage minorities to get COVID-19 vaccines when they become available.
Qiana Thomason, president and CEO of Health Forward, said at the University of Kansas Health System news conference Wednesday morning that there was a history of distrust among black and brown people because of past unauthorized medical tests on them, and because of current misinformation that continues to create bias and inequities in providing care.
Thomason said there were many examples of discrimination in health care against people of color. For example, a false idea has been promulgated in some medical circles that black people have more pain tolerance, and they do not, she said.
