@FaithAction has highlighted the high degree of ‘vaccine hesitancy’ among BAME communities, with a Queen Mary study of the London population, suggesting that only 39% of the BAME population group would have the Covid-19 vaccine compared with 70% of white Londoners. The reasons are complex and often understandable, but faith-based organisations can have a real impact with those they work with by myth-busting and explaining the science.

ripples of concern through public health teams and among those administering the rollout—and they should concern us, too, especially given that the pandemic has already had a disproportionate impact on BAME communities
