7News reported that local health departments in Maryland and Virginia say that Black men are lagging behind Black women when it comes to getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The story included suggestions from Fernando Porter of Silver Spring. The physician said that what helps with hesitancy in his Black male patients feeling skeptical about getting the vaccine is sharing his personal vaccine experience with them. Porter explained his arm hurt, chills, body aches, and joint pain followed, but he later felt nothing else. N.C.-based meteorologist Vernon Turner is turning to social media to lead by example for others, too.
