Today we are joined by Dr. Donald Alcendor of Meharry Medical College. Dr. Alcendor is an expert on Virology and has done extensive work with preventing spread of viruses through vaccinations. Today our focus is on Vaccines in Communities of Color, specifically the COVID-19 vaccines. We will discuss the differences between the 3 major vaccines available, vaccine hesitancy, and how to access these vaccines. Dr. Rolanda Lister leads this discussion.
