Listen "Vaccine Hesitancy and Access Issues"

Episode Synopsis


As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout expands in Indiana, who still isn't getting vaccinated, and why?

Today we talk about some of the lingering hesitancy around vaccination, especially in communities of color, and find out how access may play a role in the lower numbers we're seeing in some communities. We also talk about what local health departments are doing to encourage people to get their vaccines.
