Tyler Perry has had the Covid-19 vaccine, as he preps a BET documentary to reassure the Black community.
The movie mogul has received both doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine, and told Gayle King on CBS This Morning that he wanted to make Covid-19 Vaccine And The Black Community: A Tyler Perry Special to help put people's fears to rest.
"If you look at our history in this country, the Tuskegee experiment, Henrietta Lacks, it raises flags for us as African American people. So I understand why there's a healthy scepticism about the vaccine," he said, admitting that at first, he "didn't really feel like I could trust it".
