The Cultural Ambassadors are now sharing information about the Pfizer COVID vaccine trial with the goal of ensuring that the final vaccine will be effective for everyone, regardless of their cultural or ethnic background. “Our community has been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19,” said the Rev. Dr. Leroy Perry, pastor of St. Stephens AME Zion Church. “We will be working harder than ever to ensure that the underserved community has access to this clinical trial and when ready, the vaccine will be made affordable to those who are disproportionately affected.”
