Over 10 million people have received a COVID-19 vaccine in the UK, which gives us a lot of information about the safety of these vaccines. However, there are growing concerns about the rates of vaccine hesitancy in some black and minority ethnic communities. We invited Dr. Simi, Clinical Director at Titan Primary Care Network, to discuss vaccine hesitancy, as well as health inequalities in black and ethnic minority communities, and to provide information about the vaccines and address concerns that people have raised.
We are joined by Aiwan Obinyan, a friend and producer of our podcast, who also has some specific questions about the vaccines.
