The Show regularly checks in with the Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.
COVID-19 vaccine distribution has been underway for several weeks, and we’re seeing long lines at State Farm Stadium in Glendale with Maricopa County moving into Phase 1B. But a significant percentage of Arizonans — more than a third — are either unsure about getting vaccinated or simply won’t do it.
Sybil Francis of the Center for the Future of Arizona wrote a piece in Sunday’s Arizona Republic about what it will take to get more Arizonans to trust the vaccines, based on results of a poll by the Center for the Future of Arizona and the Gallup organization.
The Show spoke with Phil Boas, Republic editorial page editor, about Francis’ column and the importance of a survey about vaccinations.
