CP3 Faculty Affiliate Dr. Utibe Essien, with Drs. Rhea Boyd and Oni Blackstock, spoke with the Grio about battling vaccine misinformation and distrust...and how they are built on systemic disparities. “My hope was that getting folks who look like myself and my colleagues who are doing this work would finally be able to push us over the edge to get our communities the health care they need. When I did the work of trying to understand why some communities [vaccine mistrust]…it really made me realize that this wasn’t about me,” said Dr. Essien.
