COVID-19 VACCINE

​ The COVID-19 vaccine is a key tool, with mask wearing, social distancing and frequent handwashing to keeping ourselves and our communities safe and ending the COVID-19 pandemic.  The COVID-19 pandemic has unfairly affected Boston's Black and other People of Color, Latinx and immigrant communities. And systemic racism including in health care and vaccine development contribute to concerns and mistrust of the COVID-19 vaccine.
