(Photo: Blacqbook) With COVID-19 vaccines being rolled out in many countries around the world, experts in the research and treatment of deadly viruses in the Caribbean say strongly-held myths could threaten the take up of the vaccine in the region. The view that vaccines cause autism, make men sterile and are developed to destroy the black race are some of the myths that should be addressed before the roll out of the vaccine in the region expected next year, the experts say. “As health care workers we need to be made aware of these myths so that we can dispel them and encourage the population to take up the vaccine,” said Karen Josiah, nurse educator and head of the School of the Health and Behavioural Sciences at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus.
