Health experts pushing vaccine awareness to underserved communities
Spreading vaccine awareness By Josh Roberson | March 13, 2021 at 11:56 AM CST - Updated March 13 at 10:14 PM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - With three working vaccines now in circulation and cases down, many states are easing up on COVID restrictions, and some like Texas and Mississippi are even doing away with mask mandates.
âNow is the time to exercise personal responsibility,â said health educator Dr. Eric Griggs. âThe reality is we canât let our guard down. There are currently 20,000 variants of the virus that are out there, about seven of which weâre concerned about.â
Questions abound about the COVID-19 vaccine and its deployment. How can the medical community ensure that no one who wants to be vaccinated is overlooked? How can underserved communities be included in the conversation? What are some of the psychosocial aspects of the vaccination effort?
The Tulane University School of Social Work aims to answer those questions and more in its next Virtual Elk Place Health Spot
The COVID-19 Vaccine & Marginalized Populations Thursday, Jan. 28 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and advanced registration is required here.
The monthly Health Spot will feature a panel of professionals active in their communities and in research, with each sharing their expertise related to infectious diseases, public health, social work and social justice. The program includes a question and answer session.
