| Combatting Vaccine Hesitancy with Faith (encore) |
May 02, 2024 |

In the first year of the global pandemic, COVID-19 deaths among Native Americans were significantly higher than any other ethnic or racial group in America due to exceedingly poor public health infrastructure. To combat the inequity, a group of public health workers in North Carolina led by Dr. David Tillman, supported by a grant from Interfaith America, worked to foster trusting relationships to tackle vaccine hesitancy and combat misinformation with the Coharie tribe in Sampson County. Producer Monique Parsons of Interfaith America reports this story from North Carolina.
This story won second place in the Outstanding Religion Podcast award category for 2024, from the Religion News Association.
