When some of her family members contracted coronavirus last year, Mary Wilkerson knew she would want a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it became available.
“My daughter-in-law came down with it right before Thanksgiving; she didn’t have to go in the hospital and was able to recover. My brother-in-law did not [have to be hospitalized, either]. They had to fight through it, though,” she said.
Wilkerson, 66, who lives in North Smithfield Manor in West Birmingham recently received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at the Alabama Regional Medical Services (ARMS) clinic in North Birmingham. Like many African-Americans, Wilkerson said she was skeptical ahead of taking the doses.

Many in the African-American community may not have access to or credible information about the COVID-19 vaccines, so two entities are working to change that, as well as address disparities in those who receive the doses.
The Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center (MHRC) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Acclinate, a health care solutions provider and MHRC partner, are working to assist residents who oftentimes face challenges and barriers to getting the vaccine, said Tiffany Osborne, MHRC director of community engagement, and Tiffany Whitlow, Acclinate co-founder and chief development officer.
