I’m doing this now to instill confidence in the vaccine. I’m aware that there is significant skepticism towards the vaccine, especially in the Black and brown communities that have been most impacted by the virus. I completely understand.
We have work to do to counteract the devastating legacy of racism in our medical system. That's why I'm committed to ensuring the vaccine reaches our most vulnerable communities and our essential workers as quickly as possible.
I promise you: help is on the way.
In the meantime, please take care of yourself and others: continue to wear a mask (I will too), practice social distancing, and wash your hands. We've got this.
