What better way to convince doubting patients than to show them, even the local leading Black physicians will get the COVID vaccine? Here are the photos of three of those local leading physicians after getting their COVID vaccine shots in a local hospital.

Drew Medical Society, the largest Black physician collective in Southern California, is leading by example, and is on the same accord with former President Obama. Primary care physicians are seeing whole households get infected by a visiting relative or friend, or even a teenager returning home from “hanging out,” who had no symptoms.
