CET: Greater than COVID Cincinnati
UC faculty members join the conversation on COVID-19
CET, Cincinnati’s local PBS TV Station, has worked with local physicians and community members to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the Black community. Short public service video announcements discussing safety, timing and other questions about vaccination to stem the COVID-19 pandemic are now available on Facebook, YouTube and the web. CET’s local effort aligns with the work of Kaiser Family Foundation and the Black Coalition against COVID, which has developed a national campaign to tackle vaccine hesitancy.
Three faculty in the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine are participating in the dialogue with short public service videos. Take a few minutes to listen to Louito Edje, MD, associate dean of graduate medical education and UC Health physician; Chris Lewis, MD, associate professor of family medicine and UC Health physician; and Anisa Shomo, MD, associate professor of family medicine and UC health physician.
Listen to the videos from CET online.
