WVXU: Meet the UC doctor trying to change minds skeptical of the COVID-19 vaccine
December 29, 2020
Louito Edje, MD, associate dean of graduate medical education at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and UC Medical Center, spoke with WVXU about why she is on a public relations blitz – participating in segments on CNBC, TMZ, BET and MSNBC - to change minds about vaccinations for COVID-19. The pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on Black Americans and Edje, a Black female physician, is hoping her participation in the Moderna vaccine trial and her voice may sway some opinions about vaccine safety and efficacy.
