The Racial Inequities of the Coronavirus are clear. Three times as many Black and Latino Americans have become infected with the Corona Virus compared to their White Neighbors. Many Black Americans have fears and reluctance to be vaccinated. In this show, Dr. Suzanne Phillips is joined by Dr. Zanthia Wiley, Infectious Diseases Specialist and Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship at Emory University Hospital Midtown, and Dr. Wiley's Aunt, Denese Rankin.

Dr. Zanthia Wiley will draw upon her expertise to address the understandable fears in Black Communities and will answer questions that everyone has raised when considering the Covid Vaccine. Her message to be vaccinated is clarifying, urgent and life-saving.
