Amid hesitancy among racial and ethnic groups about vaccine safety, medical schools and university hospitals turn to community partners, trusted minority leaders, and media platforms to explain the science behind the shots. Our AAMCNews team recently covered this topic, which you can read more about here.
If you aren’t already familiar, check out the great culturally-relevant resources and activities being offered by the Black Coalition Against COVID-19. The collaborators in this effort—including the nation’s four historically Black medical schools—are helping communities of color combat COVID-19 and advocate for vaccine access.
If your institution or organization is involved in this effort, we’d love to hear more about it.
