Center for Closing the Health Gap
The Center for Closing the Health Gap is continuing its push to encourage Black, Hispanic and Latino/a peoples to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The agency is hosting a virtual town hall Saturday titled "Black Men in Medicine - Our Crisis in 2021."
CEO Renee Mahaffey Harris says four doctors will discuss vaccine safety and efficacy and answer questions.
"The town hall is really to talk about our current issues, to talk about the statistics relative to Black men," says Mahaffey Harris. "What the opportunity is, is to improve health outcomes for all people, but in particular raising greater awareness about Black mens health."
