46. There has been an issue with insufficient AA and other minorities inclusion in some PHASE I-III

Thu Dec 3, 2020, 12:05 PM

Dec 2020

clinical trials and it is a problem that I agree must be addressed. I believe some vaccine developing companies did a better job than others, but I agree that this must be addressed so that members of these at-risk communities feel comfortable receiving the vaccine. That these individuals were either not sufficiently recruited or did not volunteer in sufficient numbers will be addressed as HCWs and other high-risk groups receive the vaccine and that should quell some of the concern.

Given that many POC are at severe risk of complications, I do hope they will receive the vaccine. But, as with some other groups not yet fully or adequately studied (pregnant women, children, persons with autoimmune disease) and as with all vaccines, more information will be forthcoming. That said, it is clear why messaging is going to be so important and coming from persons credible within each community.

you mean "trust us" isn;t good enough? beachbumbob Dec 2020 #1

+1, especially when vaccine.gov says 3 to 5 yrs for safe vaccine. uponit7771 Dec 2020 #4

Not all, because some of it is private patient information Klaralven Dec 2020 #2

Correct, are we able to see breakdowns etc that aren't related to specific patient data uponit7771 Dec 2020 #7

Why would it be necessary? NurseJackie Dec 2020 #3

Trust but verify. EDIT: Trust AND verify uponit7771 Dec 2020 #5

Ridiculous. NurseJackie Dec 2020 #69

"Yes it is." This is a overtly privileged position to take at minimum and dismissive of racism in US uponit7771 Dec 2020 #70

No. The FDA WILL and the ACIP (advisory committee for CDC) can demand it hlthe2b Dec 2020 #6

That's too bad, seems like transparency will help with trust and verification uponit7771 Dec 2020 #8

Actually no. I edited my previous post to indicate why this is not appropriate. hlthe2b Dec 2020 #10

Isn't that a similar excuse Trump used to not tell us about the virus at first? uponit7771 Dec 2020 #13
