Some Health Care Workers Are Hesitant About Getting COVID-19 Vaccines Enlarge this image toggle caption Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune via AP Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune via AP Dr. Nikhila Juvvadi, the chief clinical officer at Chicago's Loretto Hospital, administered the first coronavirus vaccine doses in the city, inoculating frontline medical workers. Juvvadi says that, in her hospital, a lot of that hesitancy is based on minority groups' deep-rooted mistrust of vaccinations and other large-scale health care programs: "I've heard Tuskegee more times than I can count in the past month — and, you know, it's a valid, valid concern." Sponsor Message Why health care workers might refuse vaccination There's a lot of different factors, but there's some things are reasonable.. How Loretto Hospital is trying to break through vaccine hesitancy among staff We've had town halls answering questions of every kind, whether it's "what is an mRNA vaccine," "what is the difference between one and the other," "be honest about the side effects".
