Community leaders address vaccine concerns for minority communities Emily Wakeman © Provided by Columbia WIS TV Community leaders address vaccine concerns for minority communities COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The US Census reports that 27% of South Carolinians are black or African American, yet less than 15% of the people who have started getting vaccinated in our state belong to this group. Some faith and community-based leaders in the African American community are saying vaccine hesitancy and access are playing a role. On Monday, Brookland Baptist Church announced a vaccine site will be rolling out at their church on Thursday in partnership with Lexington Medical Center. Brookland Baptist Senior Pastor Charles B. Jackson said the goal is to increase access and trust in the vaccine to overcome some of the vaccine hesitancy he has witnessed in minority communities in Columbia and across the state.
