The Cincinnati Black medical community, in partnership with the Health Gap and Cincinnati Medical Association, has united us to educate us about the vaccine. All available COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, for everyone over the age of 12!
More than 50 Black physicians signed a letter to help all of us better understand the vaccines and why we need it to save ourselves.
THE GOAL IS FOR ALL OF US TO STAY ALIVE. As of today, we have lost more than 1.1 million people in the United States due to COVID-19. Millions more COVID-19 survivors are battling the long-term effects of this illness, including chronic lung disease, heart disease, kidney disease, and neurological disease. As we remain focused on preventing more devastation caused by the COVID-19 virus, especially as COVID variants are causing a rise in cases, we want to help you make an informed decision.
