The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tragically disproportionate effect on America’s black communities, and yet, some members of the African-American and other communities of color, have been among those initially reluctant to take the vaccines that have been developed to combat the pandemic. Why is that? And what’s being done to reverse that reluctance? Bob talks about this with guest Arva Rice, president and CEO of the New York Urban League and a member of a task force that was formed in New York to spread the word about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, and to make sure that they are widely accessible in communities of color.
