Webinar aims to ease COVID-19 vaccine fears
There is a lot of work to be done to convince the public that COVID-19 vaccines are safe. Surveys show fewer than half of Black Americans plan to get one.
DALLAS - COVID-19 vaccines continue rolling out but public health and political leaders are concerned about the tepid trust of the vaccine across Black communities.
