Tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET: Vacunas contra el COVID-19, mitos y realidades
Tune in to Univision at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT for the latest from NIH CEAL.
Recent polls indicate that vaccine confidence is increasing among Latinos and Hispanics. But some still have questions.
Join us to hear about how safety always guides the scientific pathway toward vaccines and treatments. Safety steers scientific leaders who review and fund research, informs recruitment of volunteers who partner with researchers and participate in clinical trials, frames the rigorous and continuous oversight of studies, determines regulatory approval, guides engagement efforts in communities, and directs doctors and nurses who bring discoveries to patients. At each step, we can find people like our panelists. This special Spanish language event can be viewed on Facebook Live.

"As we navigate through this pandemic, leaders in and members of communities of color have a significant role to play to promote trust in science. From leading scientific research to being participants in the research, we need to highlight the contribution of minorities and their commitment to work together for a better future for everyone."

Dr. Katya Corado
Investigator, The Lundquist Institute
"Part of my role as an Infectious Disease physician is developing certain clinical protocols. I am able to confidently provide details to our communities which have been devastated by COVID. I no longer want to see my parents, my grandparents, my cousins dying of COVID."

"As a pediatrician from Peru, I have seen firsthand the loss and devastation of this pandemic on my community and family. I have been studying vaccines for over 20 years, and as a safety monitor for the COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, I can state with full confidence that safety was taken into account every step of the way. I have received the vaccine and my family is fully ready when it is their turn."

Emelina Asto-Flores
CaRE2 Community Health Educator with CEAL, College of Pharmacy, University of Florida
"As a Latina community health educator, it was very important to me to volunteer as a COVID-19 clinical trial participant. Doing so has allowed me to speak from experience when addressing concerns about the vaccine and its development. My participation is one step closer to ensuring my community knows that people who are like them are represented in clinical research."

"As a Latino physician, with more than 20 years of experience, it is very important to me that our hardest-hit communities receive the care and education they need and deserve. To ensure my community survives COVID-19, I educate my patients, family, and friends on the science surrounding COVID-19 and vaccine development."
