“As a Black physician, I urge you to consider taking the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available to you. Vaccines save lives. Preventing poor outcomes, as in death, is an exciting effect of this vaccine.  I will be first in line when it is offered to me, and I hope to see you in line next to me. Masked up, of course.”

Erkeda DeRouen is a family physician and can be reached at her self-titled site, Dr Erkeda DeRouen.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “A letter to Black America for those who do not want to take the COVID-19 vaccine.”
