The Black community knows how to protect itself.  Our people have doing it for years, we have history.  It’s understandable why many people of color do not trust the medical and scientific community. However, the COVID-19 vaccine is different. Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, African American viral immunologist at the National Institutes of Health, helped developed the vaccines; and other leaders from communities of color volunteered to take part in the testing. So, now we have safe, effective vaccines to prevent illness.

People of color have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic; however, we remain wary of health professionals and less likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine. African American community leaders and health professionals hope to inspire our community to do their research and think about getting this vaccine because this is not a hoax.
