Adrian Elliot wants Black and Latino county residents, and all people of color in the Berkshires, to know that he thinks the COVID-19 vaccines are âamazing.â
Speaking at a panel dedicated to assuaging vaccine concerns among people of color, Elliot, chief of emergency medicine at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington, stressed that the vaccines were proved safe and effective in clinical trials that included thousands of Black and Latino people.
And while he thinks âamazingâ is a word that should be reserved for rare occasions, like landing a rover on Mars, he happily applied it to the vaccines.
âDo [the vaccines] work?â Elliot asked. âShort answer, they work. Slightly longer answer, they work really well.â
