Are you still hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine? Or have you gotten it but have a hard time convincing those around you to receive it? The key is arming people with the right information, versus trying to strong-arm them into getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
We know immunizations have long been a topic of hesitancy in the Black community.

Listen in as Dr. Cedric Rutland from the American Lung Association discusses the issue of misinformation, the need to recognize skepticism within communities of color, the importance of getting vaccinated and more.
