Nationwide, white Republicans are more hesitant about getting the COVID-19 vaccine than any other demographic group. We talk about why, and about what public health officials are doing to reach this group. Our guests are Malheur County Health Department Director Sarah Poe and Chunhuei Chi, professor and director of the Center for Global Health at Oregon State University.
