CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - As thousands of people across the state are signing up to get a COVID-19 vaccine, health professionals at the Medical University of South Carolina are urging communities of color to do the same.
MUSC’s Black and Hispanic/Latino faculty have sent out a release detailing why minority communities in South Carolina and across the nation should take the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are able to schedule an appointment.
Data from the state’s department of health and environmental control shows that the virus impacts the Black, Hispanic, and Latino population at disproportioned rates.

A top exercise researcher and colleagues at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have launched an ambitious effort to understand the whole-body benefits of exercise so that doctors can use that information to prevent and treat disease.
Zhen Yan, PhD, and his collaborators aim to identify the sources, functions and targets of the molecules that provide exercise s well-documented health benefits. By understanding this, doctors will better understand how exercise helps fend off disease, and they may be able to design drugs to mimic those benefits for people who cannot exercise, such as those with limited mobility. The cutting-edge research could open new doors both for preventing and treating many common illnesses, the researchers hope.
