Arizona Department Of Health Services Using Testimonials To Build Trust In Vaccine

Coronavirus vaccine distribution is ramping up in Arizona. But some people still have reservations about the vaccines, according to Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ.

She says the department’s next challenge is making sure Arizonans feel safe rolling up their sleeves.

"Individuals said that the people that they would listen about getting vaccinated to are healthcare providers, or other individuals that they trusted that have already received the vaccine," said Christ.

ADHS’s social media accounts have started posting video testimonials from vaccinated community members, like healthcare workers.
