A charity has released a series of videos aimed at dispelling Covid-19 vaccination myths within the Asian community. The videos entitled ‘Dispelling the Myths’ features local health experts, religious leaders and vaccinators and has been launched by One Voice Blackburn. Recent research shows that members of the South Asian heritage are most likely to abstain from taking the new vaccinations. According to some reports, including GP online, there have been between 20 and 30 per cent ‘Did Not Attends’ among the BAME community compared to 2/3 per cent with other sections of society in the UK. Covid-19 has disproportionately affected ethnic minority groups in developed countries. In the UK, people of black ethnicity have had the highest diagnosis rates.
