Concerns around the speed with which the COVID-19 vaccines were developed, along with questions on the potential risks for pregnant women and skepticism about the vaccines' effectiveness against the coronavirus variants, have increased public hesitancy on getting vaccinated. Herein lies the challenge for health care personnel trying to convince those who are wary on the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. On this episode of "Beyond the White Coat," @Rosha McCoy, MD, AAMC senior director for advancing clinical leadership and quality, talks with health care providers and experts (including AAMC's very own @Ross McKinney, MD!) to debunk common myths and share accurate information about the COVID-19 vaccines as part of the nation's efforts to increase vaccinations and end the pandemic.
What's the most common or most difficult myth that you have had to deal with in talking with your patients or people in your community?
