Vaccine Hesitancy and Medical Mistreatment in Communities of Color

This week on The Chamberlain Care Podcast we are joined by Dr. Gil Singletary for an important conversation about vaccine hesitancy in communities of color. Covering some of the many historical instances of medical mistreatment in these minority communities, Dr. Singletary helps us shed light on why, Black men specifically, are skeptical about the COVID-19 vaccines that are now becoming available.
