The COVID-19 vaccine is a contentious topic for many Latinos and Americans.
The divide between those who are vaccinated and those who are unsure or don’t want to get the shot grows wider every day.
But we can use compassion and cultural relevancy when promoting vaccine benefits with our loved ones who are unsure about the shot, according to two medical experts, Claudia Pineda, a physician assistant in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Dr. Katya Corado, a researcher with The Lundquist Institute.
