Health leaders say listening, transparency key to assuring minority populations on vaccines MU Health Care COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) State and local health leaders are using different outreach methods to overcome coronavirus vaccine hesitancy within communities of color. Agencies from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to MU Health Care are using various partnerships to address racial minorities who may be skeptical of the vaccines. That includes linking up with church leaders in hosting vaccination sites to community forums to talk about concerns. While Americans willingness to get a coronavirus vaccine has steadily risen in recent months, some surveys find minority respondents are warier. Just 42 percent of Black respondents in a November Pew poll, for example, said they planned on getting vaccinated. That s below the 60 percent willingness among all people that took it, and lowest when broken up by racial groups.
