I think very important for everyone to keep in mind is that the pandemic is still very much a public health crisis. And so, although we're very optimistic with the advent of new technologies and the vaccines and people getting vaccinated, I think we really do have to keep in mind that the crisis is still here, and we still need to be very careful and very vigilant about being safe, vaccinated or not. I think it's also important to just keep in mind that the risk for severe illness associated with COVID-19 increases with increasing age.

So older adults are at the highest risk, older adults that are at highest risk for requiring hospitalization and dying, unfortunately. And we know that 80 percent of COVID-19-related deaths are related to individuals that are 65 years or older. And then also, if you have an underlying medical problem or additional medical problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes, or even obesity, even being over your ideal body weight, that will also put you at an even higher risk for COVID-19 severe disease.

And then finally, we also know that the risk in our community, in the Black community, is increased for hospitalizations three times and for death two times the average population in the United States. So we need to keep all of those things really at the forefront, even though we know that the vaccines will help us to get back to normal life, that we need to still be very careful and do all of those practices, the strategies that keep us safe, wearing our mask, washing our hands, avoiding touching our eyes and nose and mouth, social distancing, and then lastly, getting vaccinated when it's available to you.

We do a survey each year called Stress in America and during the pandemic, we actually redid the survey several times just to see how people's stress levels were being affected by the pandemic. And immediately after the pandemic, we saw a spike for the first time; we've been doing this for many years, and we saw a spike in the overall stress levels of Americans that has stayed pretty high throughout the pandemic.

And it's because of a confluence of not only the pandemic, you have the economic issues that for many people they have lost their jobs, you have the racial tensions that have happened and you have the disproportionate impact that the pandemic has had on the African American community. So when you add all of that up, it paints a picture of a community that is experiencing a lot of stress.

Our most recent surveys showed that people during the pandemic are gaining quite a bit of weight, typically about 15 pounds, and about 40 percent of the population, in general, have gained weight, about 20 percent have actually lost weight, undesired weight gain or weight loss. So this is already starting to have an impact, not only on our mental health, but on our physical health. People's sleep is also being disturbed — people sleeping more than they want or less than they want.

And really concerning is that 25 percent of people are saying that they are drinking more to help cope with their stress. So what that says is that we really have to pay attention to our mental health as we go through this, that even after we are vaccinated, the mental health aspects of this are going to be with us for quite a bit of time. And particularly in our community, in the African American community, it is really important to pay attention to these issues because our mental health affects our physical health, but it also affects ability in all our social and family networks.

Across the country there's a consistent pattern of Black and Hispanic people receiving smaller shares of vaccinations, which was mentioned, compared to the share of cases and deaths they represent. And we cannot allow these disparities to grow.

Rachel Villanueva: Thank you, that's an excellent, excellent question because obviously we know that even with other medications and vaccines, things may not affect different populations in the same way, so it is important for us to look at these different factors. So, as you said, there are three vaccines that received emergency use authorization and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines require two doses, and the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine requires one dose.

And although it seems that that is a good number to have 10 to 13 percent, because that roughly reflects the number of Black Americans in the country, which is good, there's nothing bad about that. But when we really think of the increased number of individuals in our community affected by this pandemic, we actually would have wanted to see even more of a study population included, representative of how many of our individuals of our community are affected by the virus. But if we're looking at studies in general, I think they did a very good job of trying to have a good representation of Black Americans in the study.

Anthony, I want to go to you and with states and local communities being responsible for the vaccine rollout, what are local governments doing to ensure that people have equitable access to vaccines in their local communities? Clarence Anthony: Yeah, thank you for that question, because I do think a lot of the data shows and talks about the distrust of the vaccine as the reason why Black Americans aren't or African Americans are not getting the vaccine. And part of that is true, but, you know, making sure that there's partnership with the health departments, the nonprofits, the church community, community-based organizations like the YMCA, is very, very important to addressing the real issue, and I think that is access to the vaccine.

Making sure that city leaders and other partners are getting free rides to the vaccine sites, because a lot of the communities don't have the transportation options that others have. You know, we're saying be six feet away, be careful about what you touch, but we're saying, get on a bus, get on a train to get it. That's just not what our local leaders are proposing.

And what we've seen through the pandemic, because of the differential impact that the pandemic has had, that we continue to see that difference of African Americans having higher stress levels. But, you know, there's another piece that I think is really important to understand here. It's not just the pandemic.

The pandemic in and of itself would be extremely stressful, but we've had some very horrific incidents concerning African Americans. What our surveys show is that those things affect African Americans, the Black community. The interesting thing is that a lot of the racial incidents that have happened against Black people have also been disturbing and stressful for white Americans as well, which was a surprise that there are over 50 percent of whites saying that these things were distressing for them, as well.

On the other hand, don't spend time close to people. And so we were really cutting ourselves off from the things that typically help us. But during this period, where we do have to stay physically distant, we need to be very conscious about making a conscious effort to stay socially connected though media and through other mechanisms.

All of those things help with both our stress levels, but they also help some of the unhealthy things that we're seeing as a result of the pandemic, the weight gain, the sleep disturbances and so forth. So, the social support, doing the things to take care of ourselves physically and then the third thing that I would add to that is just being very intentional about doing pleasurable things, because one of the things that has happened during the pandemic is that people have stopped doing a lot of the things that they get pleasure from.

Villanueva, the CDC recently released guidance on how vaccinated people can safely gather, and we know that families may want to gather this weekend for Easter weekend for those who celebrate Easter or are having some spring trips. What does this mean for people who had the vaccine and what if you haven't had the vaccine?

Just two very important points to discuss. And so I think it's so wonderful for all of us who have been vaccinated that we feel a little more freedom, a little safer and a little more free that now we've gotten vaccinated. But the very first thing I spoke about at the top of our program was that we're still in the middle of a crisis.

And so, even though the vaccine is allowing us to be a little bit safer as we try to get back to a more normal life, we still need to be very careful about all of our activities. And so the CDC, or Centers for Disease Control, came out with very specific guidelines, actually. I mean if you go on, and I would encourage individuals who have access to the internet, to go to the cdc.gov site, it goes through very complete outlines of what is safe for people who've been fully vaccinated meeting with other fully vaccinated people, vaccinated people being around people who are unvaccinated, risks, where they need to wear masks or not.

If you're an older individual, if you have an underlying medical problem, you always have to be even more careful than perhaps the guidelines give us. I mean, those are sort of general guidelines. And I think we also, in general, have to continue to wear our masks and social distance and avoid crowds and large gatherings, even though we might be able to gather in smaller groups, especially with people who've been vaccinated, all of us have been vaccinated, they're still not recommending travel.

Shani Hosten: So good, we definitely have to continue to be safe and vigilant, and thank you for outlining those CDC guidelines, Dr.

And that there are people who were around during the Tuskegee study that injected Black women, specifically, 40 years ago, with this syphilis vaccine, and so, therefore, that is still top of mind in some folks' minds around hesitancy of this vaccine. But what we think, and what we're promoting, is local government must push for equity as it relates to getting people to take this vaccine because it's a matter of life and death.

So, you know, one thing we're doing, again, is to try to make sure that we have partners that can help us get the vaccine accessible to our elderly population. We're also working on building more trust by working with our church community to publicize and put campaigns together to build trust again. And I think that one of the most important things is that our leaders are tracking the data.

So the goal is to remove all the barriers and to say, is the pharmacy the right place, is the community center the right place?

And this also reminds us that as the rollout of a coronavirus vaccine continues, scammers are out there looking for ways to take advantage and with the COVID-19 vaccination in full swing, unfortunately these scammers are going to continue to try to find ways to take advantage. We've seen federal and state agencies are warning that the flood of vaccine scams with phony websites and email campaigns promising easy and early access to the coronavirus shot. We've seen authorities also anticipate really that a fresh wave of stimulus scams with the approval of the new round of relief payments, enhancing unemployment benefits and the small business loans occurring right now, we know the scammers will call and send emails and even text messages, and will place fake ads to convince people that they can jump to the front of the vaccine line for paying a fee, or by providing their Social Security number or other sensitive personal information.

It's almost like the recipe that lets your body know how to develop the proteins or the antibodies that will fight the COVID virus, but it doesn't contain any COVID virus. So it really highlights the one thing that we have been talking about so much when we've been talking about the virus, is that people can be asymptomatic, which is that they don't have any symptoms of COVID, but they've been exposed, and they could give it to somebody else. And we know that that's been such a large percentage of how people have been infected and how easily it's spread throughout the country.

And that's why AARP continues to have these calls, because we know the information is changing or evolving. So I encourage Glenda to keep an eye out for additional AARP tele-town hall information meetings, as well.

Barbara: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I had already given my question, but my question was, my concern was, that so many African Americans, they're already a statistic of having passed from the virus, so I was wondering, is it simply because our race has more problems that are conducive to the virus, or, you know, is it some type of gene or something that is causing our race to be more vulnerable to the virus? That's basically what my question was.

So what we are wanting to do is to make sure that through all of what we have learned, we want to address some of those systemic and institutional systems of racism that has existed.

Well again, thank you for inviting me to be a part of this. I think our message from the American Psychological Association is to really understand that this pandemic is affecting both our mental health and our physical health. And the data is really clear on the impact that it's having on African American mental health and really encourage people to one, pay attention to that, but two, take steps to address their mental health even as we're coming out of the pandemic.

Villanueva, because the doctor is right on as it relates to making sure that we get the right information and become comfortable. And finally, I'll say to you, I had the same journey that many of you may be going through and being hesitant nine months ago. But as I have learned about the science associated with this and the health issues that I needed to get educated on, it was the right thing for me.

And I think that, although many will say that our community is hesitant, I think even research has recently showed we're the group of individuals that are really asking a lot of questions, and we're the most persuadable group of people, meaning that once our questions are answered, once we hear from experts and get the information, we actually will make the choice to get the vaccine. And I think that's so important for us to keep in mind, that it is OK to ask questions. These are really scary and unprecedented times.

And hopefully, once you get that information, you'll decide that that the vaccine is what you'll ultimately get, will ultimately take the vaccine.

So I, again, I thank AARP so, so very much, because I think there are so many individuals who need to hear this information, and as many times as I'm invited to come back, I will absolutely come back because I think the conversation is important so that we keep our community safe, we keep our loved ones safe and we try to get back to a more normal life again.

So I'm just going to touch on a few important things as most doctors will not just tell you just one thing. I think very important for everyone to keep in mind is that the pandemic is still very much a public health crisis.

And so, although we're very optimistic with the advent of new technologies and the vaccines and people getting vaccinated, I think we really do have to keep in mind that the crisis is still here, and we still need to be very careful and very vigilant about being safe, vaccinated or not. I think it's also important to just keep in mind that the risk for severe illness associated with COVID-19 increases with increasing age.

So older adults are at the highest risk, older adults that are at highest risk for requiring hospitalization and dying, unfortunately. And we know that 80 percent of COVID-19-related deaths are related to individuals that are 65 years or older. And then also, if you have an underlying medical problem or additional medical problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes, or even obesity, even being over your ideal body weight, that will also put you at an even higher risk for COVID-19 severe disease.

And then finally, we also know that the risk in our community, in the Black community, is increased for hospitalizations three times and for death two times the average population in the United States. So we need to keep all of those things really at the forefront, even though we know that the vaccines will help us to get back to normal life, that we need to still be very careful and do all of those practices, the strategies that keep us safe, wearing our mask, washing our hands, avoiding touching our eyes and nose and mouth, social distancing, and then lastly, getting vaccinated when it's available to you.

The American Psychological Association has been very involved in this issue since the very beginning, the pandemic, and really looking at both the psychological impact, and the impact that the pandemic is having on people, as well as some of the behavioral issues, and I'll talk a minute about that. From a mental health standpoint, we know that the pandemic has had a very significant impact on our mental health, just generally. We do a survey each year called Stress in America and during the pandemic, we actually redid the survey several times just to see how people's stress levels were being affected by the pandemic.

So, as you said, there are three vaccines that received emergency use authorization and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines require two doses, and the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine requires one dose. The trials for the Pfizer vaccine included 10 percent of the study population, which was about 44,000 individuals.

Making sure that city leaders and other partners are getting free rides to the vaccine sites, because a lot of the communities don't have the transportation options that others have.

[00:22:45] So, you know, it's that additive and layering of these different stressors that we're experiencing, and the isolation, the grief, people not being able to grieve.

So I really encourage people to think about what are those things? And then how can I make those things happen even during this pandemic. That'll be helpful in terms of helping people to manage their stress and distress levels.

Very critical. Before we take questions from our members, we want to address an important issue, and it's been mentioned today. And we know that many of you on the call are having challenges registering for the vaccine in your state and community, and because many places require signup through online forums.

And if you don't have access to a computer, this can be a real challenge. AARP wants to help, and we have established an AARP Vaccine Registration Team to try to assist in these cases. So today, if you're listening, and you don't have a computer, and you can't register for a vaccine in your community, please know that because you don't have access to technology that should not hamper you.

I mean if you go on, and I would encourage individuals who have access to the internet, to go to the cdc.gov site, it goes through very complete outlines of what is safe for people who've been fully vaccinated meeting with other fully vaccinated people, vaccinated people being around people who are unvaccinated, risks, where they need to wear masks or not. And I think that it really gives a lot of detail about what is safe.

If you're an older individual, if you have an underlying medical problem, you always have to be even more careful than perhaps the guidelines give us. I mean, those are sort of general guidelines. And I think we also, in general, have to continue to wear our masks and social distance and avoid crowds and large gatherings, even though we might be able to gather in smaller groups, especially with people who've been vaccinated, all of us have been vaccinated, they're still not recommending travel.

[00:39:23]Shani Hosten: So good, we definitely have to continue to be safe and vigilant, and thank you for outlining those CDC guidelines, Dr.

What are local governments and community organizations doing to address the vaccine hesitation and concerns in the community? [00:39:45]Clarence Anthony: Yeah, thank you for that question. I do think that it's, first of all, they're taking it very seriously because you know, as we know, city government, local government is the level of government that people interact with on a daily basis, whether it's at the supermarket, post office or wherever.

And I think that it took our nation, as well as our communities, time to recognize that each community is different. And that there are people who were around during the Tuskegee study that injected Black women, specifically, 40 years ago, with this syphilis vaccine, and so, therefore, that is still top of mind in some folks' minds around hesitancy of this vaccine.

But what we think, and what we're promoting, is local government must push for equity as it relates to getting people to take this vaccine because it's a matter of life and death. So, you know, one thing we're doing, again, is to try to make sure that we have partners that can help us get the vaccine accessible to our elderly population.

They're making sure that as we talk about hesitancy, as we talk about ways to get this information out, that we actually know the communities, the neighborhoods that are not taking the virus so that we can go door-to-door, church-to-church, as well as other facilities, to be able to get access to the residents who have hesitancies. So the goal is to remove all the barriers and to say, is the pharmacy the right place, is the community center the right place?

Many of our congregations, churches, mosques are really stepping up, because they understand that this is having a direct impact on their congregations. And I think one of the things that I would just add, I mean, for African American professionals have really stepped up, but I think we have to continue to be more visible because when you hear people from your communities who have gone through and they've gotten the training, they're looking at the research, they're in clinical practice, that also goes a long way.

It's really important to keep in mind that there's no virus in the vaccine, right, so those mRNA vaccines, the ones that are the two doses, they actually don't carry any virus within the vaccine. So what the vaccine is, is really information. It's almost like the recipe that lets your body know how to develop the proteins or the antibodies that will fight the COVID virus, but it doesn't contain any COVID virus.

So it really highlights the one thing that we have been talking about so much when we've been talking about the virus, is that people can be asymptomatic, which is that they don't have any symptoms of COVID, but they've been exposed, and they could give it to somebody else. And we know that that's been such a large percentage of how people have been infected and how easily it's spread throughout the country. Because people like your coworker don't think they have anything, they feel fine, but they've been exposed, and then they carry the virus and now they can give it to somebody else.

I thought I had already given my question, but my question was, my concern was, that so many African Americans, they're already a statistic of having passed from the virus, so I was wondering, is it simply because our race has more problems that are conducive to the virus, or, you know, is it some type of gene or something that is causing our race to be more vulnerable to the virus? That's basically what my question was.

And it goes back to some of the health issues that our community has had historically, and, you know, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some of that is because of the way America has included us or excluded us. You know, if you think about asthma, for example, you find a lot of our communities are close to railroad tracks and incinerators and urban communities, and the quality of water sometimes in rural communities.

You can talk about the lack of health care and access. And so, when our body, and I'm not a medical doctor, that's why we have Dr. Villanueva on, when our body contracts these kinds of viruses, we don't have the system in place in order to fight it.

We know that the mental health aspects of this are going to be with us for quite a bit of time. And then, finally, just to do what is going to really help you and your families be safe, and it's clear that getting vaccinated can really make a big difference.

And I think that there's no question that our community has been overburdened with COVID-19 and the impact that it's had on us mentally and physically in our communities. And I think that, although many will say that our community is hesitant, I think even research has recently showed we're the group of individuals that are really asking a lot of questions, and we're the most persuadable group of people, meaning that once our questions are answered, once we hear from experts and get the information, we actually will make the choice to get the vaccine.

So I, again, I thank AARP so, so very much, because I think there are so many individuals who need to hear this information, and as many times as I'm invited to come back, I will absolutely come back because I think the conversation is important so that we keep our community safe, we keep our loved ones safe and we try to get back to a more normal life again.

Y gracias por incluir a la National Medical Association como parte de esta conversación. Creo que es difícil decir cuál es la única cosa importante, así que solo voy a mencionar algunas cosas importantes, ya que la mayoría de los médicos no dirán solo una cosa, creo que es muy importante que todos tengan en cuenta que la pandemia sigue siendo en gran medida una crisis de salud pública. Entonces, aunque somos muy optimistas con el avance de las nuevas tecnologías y las vacunas y las personas que se vacunan, creo que realmente debemos tener en cuenta que la crisis todavía está aquí.

Por lo tanto, los adultos mayores corren el mayor riesgo, los adultos mayores que tienen el mayor riesgo de requerir hospitalización y morir, desafortunadamente. Y sabemos que el 80% de las muertes relacionadas con COVID-19 suceden entre personas de 65 años o más. Y además, si tienes un problema médico subyacente o un problema médico adicional, como presión arterial alta o diabetes o incluso obesidad, incluso estar por encima del peso corporal ideal, eso también los pondrá en un riesgo aún mayor de contraer la enfermedad grave por COVID-19.

Y finalmente, también sabemos que el riesgo en nuestra comunidad, la comunidad negra tiene tres veces más riesgo de que ocurran hospitalizaciones y dos veces más riesgo de que ocurran muertes con respecto a la población promedio en Estados Unidos. Por lo tanto, debemos mantener todas esas cosas realmente a la vanguardia, aunque sabemos que las vacunas nos ayudarán a volver a la vida normal, que debemos ser muy cuidadosos y continuar con todas esas prácticas, esas estrategias que nos mantienen a salvo, usar una mascarilla, lavarnos las manos, evitar tocarnos los ojos y la nariz y la boca, el distanciamiento social y, por último, vacunarnos. Cuando esté disponible para ti, por favor, vacúnate.

Hacemos una encuesta llamada Estrés en Estados Unidos cada año, y durante la pandemia en realidad volvimos a hacerla varias veces solo para ver cómo los niveles de estrés se vieron afectados por la pandemia en la población. E inmediatamente después de la pandemia, vimos un aumento por primera vez desde que hemos estado haciendo esto durante muchos años, vimos un aumento en los niveles de estrés general de las personas que se ha mantenido bastante alto durante la pandemia. Cuando preguntamos a las personas, alrededor del 80%, más del 80% de las personas dicen que su salud mental se ha visto afectada negativamente por la pandemia.

Hemos abogado a nivel federal, estatal y local por una mayor transparencia de datos y acciones para proteger a nuestros residentes y personal en hogares de ancianos e instalaciones de atención a largo plazo, especialmente porque los datos han demostrado que las personas de color en estos centros se han visto mucho más afectadas. Además, en lugares como Nueva York, Míchigan, Massachusetts, Carolina del Sur y Nueva Jersey y California, AARP está trabajando para garantizar una mayor recopilación de datos raciales y étnicos, divulgación y pruebas para las personas de color y buscando compromiso de los líderes para abordar problemas subyacentes relacionados con el hambre, el acceso a la salud, el transporte y otros temas.

Como han dicho, hay tres vacunas que recibieron autorización de uso de emergencia, y las vacunas de Pfizer BioNTech y de Moderna requieren dos dosis, y la vacuna Janssen de Johnson & Johnson, requiere una dosis. Los ensayos de la vacuna de Pfizer incluyeron al 10% de la población del estudio, que fue de aproximadamente 44,000 individuos, por lo que el estudio fue muy grande, el 10% eran afroamericanos y el 41% mayores de 56 años.

Mi dislexia. La vacuna de Johnson & Johnson tenía el 13% de afroamericanos en la población de los individuos del estudio, y aunque parece que es un buen número tener del 10% al 13% porque eso refleja aproximadamente el número de afroamericanos en el país, lo cual es bueno.

Lo interesante es que muchos de los incidentes raciales que han ocurrido contra los negros también han sido inquietantes y estresantes para las personas blancas también. Lo que sorprende es que más del 50% de los blancos digan que estas cosas también les resultan angustiantes. Entonces, ya sabes, es ese aditivo y la superposición de estos diferentes factores estresantes lo que estamos experimentando y el aislamiento, el dolor, la gente que no puede hacer el duelo, ya sabes, he sufrido pérdidas en mi propia familia, muchas personas sufren pérdidas en su familia, algunos debido a la COVID-19, otros no.

Hubo cierta preocupación al principio de esto porque estábamos diciendo, por un lado, el apoyo social es realmente importante, por otro lado, no pasemos tiempo cerca de la gente y, por lo tanto, realmente nos aislamos de las cosas que normalmente nos ayudan. Pero durante este período en el que tenemos que mantenernos físicamente distantes, debemos ser muy conscientes de hacer un esfuerzo deliberado para mantenernos conectados socialmente a través de los medios y otros mecanismos. Así que puse eso en la parte superior de la lista, pero también hacer algunas cosas básicas para nuestra propia salud, ya sabes, comer bien, dormir bien en la medida en que las personas puedan hacer algo de actividad física, todas esas cosas ayudan con nuestro nivel de estrés, pero también ayudan a algunas de las cosas poco saludables que estamos viendo como resultado de la pandemia, el aumento de peso, las alteraciones del sueño, etc.

Entonces, ya sabes, el apoyo social y hacer cosas para cuidarnos físicamente y luego la tercera cosa que agregaría es ser muy intencional en hacer cosas placenteras, porque una de las cosas que sucedió durante la pandemia es que la gente ha dejado de hacer muchas de las cosas que les complacen y sabemos por el trabajo que hacemos con los psicólogos y, de hecho, una de las estrategias que empleamos con las personas es lograr que las personas mantengan la intención de hacer las cosas que les complacen. Así que realmente animo a la gente a pensar en cuáles son esas cosas, y luego cómo puedo hacer que esas cosas sucedan incluso durante esta pandemia, que serán útiles en términos de ayudar a las personas a manejar sus niveles de estrés y angustia. Shani Hosten: Genial.

Muy importante con este enfoque en el apoyo social y realmente el autocuidado durante este tiempo, muy crítico. Antes de responder a las preguntas de nuestros socios, queremos abordar un tema importante que se ha mencionado hoy y sabemos que muchos de ustedes en las llamadas están teniendo dificultades para registrarse para la vacuna en su estado y comunidad y porque muchos lugares requieren llenar inscripciones en línea. Y si no tienes acceso a una computadora, esto puede ser un verdadero desafío.

AARP quiere ayudar, y hemos establecido un equipo de registro de vacunas de AARP para tratar de ayudar en estos casos. Así que hoy, si estás escuchando y no tienes una computadora y no puedes registrarte para una vacuna en tu comunidad, por favor ten en cuenta que no tener acceso a tecnología no debería ser un obstáculo.

Queremos que presiones 1 ahora mismo para agregarte a una lista y recibir una llamada telefónica del personal de AARP para ayudarte. Nuevamente, si no tienes acceso a una computadora, para registrarte, presiona 1 para ser agregado a una lista y recibir una llamada de un miembro del personal de AARP que te ayudará. Nuevamente, si no tienes acceso a internet, eso no debería ser un impedimento para recibir la vacuna que deseas, por lo que, nuevamente, presiona 1 para ser agregado a la lista para recibir una llamada telefónica y cuando presiones 1, se te pedirá que confirmes esa selección y, a continuación, volverás a esta llamada.

Así que creo que solo queremos asegurarnos de que continúes teniendo el mayor cuidado posible en un área bien ventilada, sin dejar de usar una mascarilla. Creo que eso sería importante solo porque técnicamente no estamos en esa marca de dos semanas, pero sabemos que incluso después de esa primera dosis de vacuna, tenías un 80% menos de probabilidades de contraer una enfermedad grave, por lo que estabas muy bien protegida.

Y creo que, en general, cuando hablamos de la vacuna y cualquier medicamento o enfermedad particular que uno pueda tener, es realmente crucial que discuta todos estos problemas con el médico personal que sepa qué medicamento uno está tomando y cualquier interacción potencial con la vacuna. Aunque en general, no creo que existan tales interacciones, pero sería importante que uno lo comentara con su médico personal. Entonces, quien sea que recetó el medicamento, sería la mejor persona para discutir esta pregunta en particular.

Es tan maravilloso para todos los que hemos sido vacunados que sentimos más libertad, nos sentimos un poco más seguros y un poco más libres ahora que nos hemos vacunado, pero lo primero de lo que hablé al comienzo de nuestro programa era que todavía estamos en medio de una crisis. Y aunque la vacuna nos permite estar un poco más seguros, mientras intentamos volver a una vida más normal, debemos ser muy cuidadosos con todas nuestras actividades.

Entonces, los CDC, o los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, publicaron pautas muy específicas, en realidad, quiero decir, animo a las personas que tienen acceso a internet a que visiten el sitio cdc.gov, que ofrece descripciones muy completas de lo que es seguro para personas que han sido completamente vacunadas, reunirse con otras personas completamente vacunadas, personas vacunadas rodeadas de personas no vacunadas, riesgos, ya sea si necesitan o no usar mascarilla. Y creo que realmente da muchos detalles sobre lo que es seguro. Creo que también debemos tener en cuenta que todos tenemos un factor de riesgo que puede no estar descrito en esas recomendaciones.

Por lo tanto, siempre se debe considerar el factor de riesgo personal de uno. Si es una persona mayor, si tiene un problema médico subyacente, siempre debe tener más cuidado de lo que tal vez nos digan las pautas, quiero decir, esas son una especie de pautas generales. Y creo que también en general tenemos que seguir usando máscaras y manteniendo distancia social y evitar multitudes y grandes reuniones.

Clarence Anthony: Sí, gracias por esa pregunta. Creo que, en primer lugar, se lo están tomando muy en serio porque, como sabemos, el Gobierno de la ciudad, el Gobierno local es el nivel de gobierno con el que la gente interactúa a diario, ya sea en el supermercado, oficina de correos, o donde sea, y creo que a nuestra nación, así como a nuestras comunidades, les tomó tiempo reconocer que cada comunidad es diferente, y que hay personas que estaban haciendo el Estudio Tuskegee que vacunó a las mujeres negras, específicamente hace 40 años con esta vacuna contra la sífilis. Por lo tanto, eso sigue siendo lo más importante en la mente de algunas personas al vacilar ante esta vacuna, pero lo que pensamos y lo que estamos promoviendo es que los Gobiernos locales deben presionar por la equidad en lo que se refiere a lograr que las personas tomen esta vacuna porque es una cuestión de vida o muerte.

Y creo que una de las cosas más importantes es que nuestros líderes están rastreando los datos, se están asegurando de que hablemos sobre la vacilación, que hablamos sobre las formas de sacar esta información que realmente conocemos de las comunidades, los vecindarios que no están tomando el virus en serio, para que podamos ir de puerta en puerta, de iglesia en iglesia, así como en otras instalaciones para poder tener acceso a los residentes que tienen dudas. Entonces, el objetivo es eliminar todas las barreras.

Y decir, es una farmacia el lugar correcto, es el centro comunitario el lugar correcto. ¿Podemos de hecho, ir y asegurarnos de que consorcios de fraternidades y hermandades trabajen juntas?

Por lo tanto, ahora mismo se trata de eliminar las barreras, obtener sus datos y generar confianza en la comunidad porque la vacilación es real. Y reconoceré que la vacilación se basa en la forma en que se ha tratado a las personas negras en el sistema de salud.

Y fue su amiga, la amiga de su madre, quien la convenció, no solo la convenció, si no que la acompañó a vacunarse.

Así que simplemente animaría a todos nuestros colegas que pueden no haber sido tan públicos sobre lo que saben y cuál es su nivel de comodidad, creo que es importante que ellos también den un paso al frente.

Y gracias, Dr. Evans, y esto también nos recuerda que a medida que continúa el lanzamiento de la vacuna contra el coronavirus, los estafadores están buscando formas de aprovecharse con la vacuna COVID-19 en pleno apogeo. Desafortunadamente, los estafadores continuarán tratando de encontrar formas de aprovecharse, hemos visto que las agencias federales y estatales advierten sobre la avalancha de estafas de vacunas con sitios web falsos y campañas de correo electrónico que prometen un acceso fácil y temprano a las vacunas contra el coronavirus.

Es casi como la receta que le permite al cuerpo saber cómo desarrollar las proteínas o los anticuerpos que combatirán el virus de la COVID-19, pero no contiene ningún virus de COVID-19. Así que realmente destaca una cosa de la que hemos estado hablando tanto cuando hemos estado hablando sobre el virus y es que las personas pueden estar asintomáticas, es decir que no tienen ningún síntoma de COVID-19 pero han estado expuestos, y podrían pasárselo a otra persona.

Y sabemos que ese ha sido un gran porcentaje de la forma en que las personas se han infectado y la facilidad con que se propaga por todo el país, porque las personas como tu compañera de trabajo no creen tener nada, se sienten bien, pero han estado expuestas y luego portan el virus y ahora se lo pueden contagiar a otra persona. Entonces, la prueba de PCR positiva no estaba relacionada con la vacuna, en realidad, realmente era una portadora asintomática. Y esos son los portadores más peligrosos en realidad porque piensan, se ven y actúan normal, pero en realidad pueden transmitir el virus a otras personas, por lo que vacunarnos es realmente importante para todos nosotros.

Entonces me preguntaba, ¿es simplemente porque, nuestra raza tiene más problemas que propician el virus o, es algún tipo de gen o algo que está causando que nuestra raza sea más vulnerable al virus? Esa es básicamente mi pregunta.

Y creo que he escuchado algunas respuestas, de que tal vez está más condicionado por nuestra carrera, pero ¿ese es el problema subyacente o es algo que estamos haciendo o hemos hecho, en lo que respecta a nuestra salud? Shani Hosten: Bueno, muchas gracias por esa pregunta.

Sabes, si pensamos en el asma, por ejemplo, encontramos que muchas de nuestras comunidades están cerca de las vías del tren e incineradoras en comunidades urbanas y la calidad del agua a veces en comunidades rurales. Puedes hablar sobre la falta de atención médica y de acceso. Y entonces cuando nuestro cuerpo, y yo no soy médico, por eso tenemos a la Dra.

Creo que nuestro mensaje de la American Psychological Association es comprender realmente que esta pandemia está afectando tanto nuestra salud mental como nuestra salud física. Y los datos son muy claros sobre el impacto que está teniendo en la salud mental de los afroamericanos y realmente alientan a las personas a prestar atención a eso, pero a tomar medidas para abordar su salud mental. Incluso cuando salimos de la pandemia, sabemos que los aspectos de salud mental de esto nos acompañarán durante bastante tiempo.

Y luego, finalmente, hacer lo que realmente nos ayudará a nosotros y a nuestras familias a estar a salvo. Y está claro que vacunarse realmente puede marcar una gran diferencia. Por eso, animo a la gente a que no solo piensen en uno mismo, si no también en quién más de su vida, de su círculo, necesita obtener esa información y puede necesitar un poco de aliento o apoyo para dar esos pasos.

Y creo que, aunque muchos dirán que nuestra comunidad está indecisa, creo que incluso la investigación ha demostrado recientemente dónde está el grupo de personas que realmente están haciendo muchas preguntas y quiénes eran el grupo de personas más persuasibles, lo que significa que una vez que se responden nuestras preguntas, una vez que escuchamos a los expertos y obtenemos la información, tomaremos la decisión de vacunarnos y creo que es muy importante que tengamos en cuenta que está bien hacer preguntas. Estos son tiempos realmente aterradores y sin precedentes, lo decimos una y otra vez, pero es algo muy importante. Todos somos muy, ya sabes, todo esto es nuevo para todos nosotros.
