An honest discussion about COVID and vaccines.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the lives of nearly everyone throughout the world.  Johns Hopkins is working with many research teams to understand how the COVID-19 virus causes disease, how we might fight the virus, and how to develop better treatments and vaccines.

With dozens of COVID-19 vaccines now in clinical trials, it is important to share information about how vaccines are being developed and their safety. It’s also important for communities to feel confident about the COVID information they are receiving, in order to overcome hesitation about getting vaccinated for COVID.

This discussion of community trust in science, medicine and research comes at a crucial time, when the pandemic has seen over 380,000 lives lost in the U.S. alone. COVID-19 is also disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities, a jarring reality that has been amplified by current racial tensions and continuing inequities experienced by Black, Latinx and communities of color.
