COLUMBIA - Medical students at the University of Missouri-Columbia have stepped up to spread information about the COVID-19 vaccine to minority communities.Â
Abdoulie Njai, Deidre Dillon, and Michela Fabricius decided to spend their Sunday getting information out about the vaccination.
Njai is a third year med student. Dillon and Fabricius are second year med students. They said they have recognized the concerns members of the black community have with the COVID-19 vaccine. The only way to truly address [the hesitancy] is by going into the community and meeting people where they are and having frank conversations where we re able to hear their questions and concerns, Njai said.Â
