How do you convince someone who’s vaccine-hesitant to get the jab? @DrRobDavidson tells @mehdirhasan the key is primary care doctors. People trust them and are most likely to listen to their advice.

A LOT of people haven't seen a doctor in YEARS because of the lack of health insurance. They have no relationship with one. Welcome to America.

A lot of people don't have doctor's. They can't afford it

Start out by not calling it a jab. For those that are needle shy that is a trigger word, along with several others.

If you have one..RED states have a high underinsured population and therefore do not see primary care physicians.

Except primary care physicians are not all getting the memo. @TOPublicHealth @epdevilla @StLawrenceMkt area physicians need a wake up call.

I have a neighbor who says she isn’t getting the shot b/c “her doctor told her they weren’t safe and not to get it” Sadly, I believe her. I don’t think PCPs in super red areas is the answer either.
