Murthy医学博士；美国卫生与公众服务部医务办公室Adelaida M. Rosario博士；来自旧金山东北医疗服务 (North East Medical Services, NEMS)的沈爱梅医学博士。 在现场提问环节，医学专家回答了有关COVID-19疫苗的安全性和有效性问题，如何确保安全，防止新冠进一步蔓延，和AANHPIs面临的健康卫生不公平。 COVID 给数百万美国人带来了巨大的痛苦，但 COVID-19 疫苗给许多家庭和社区带来了希望。截至6月10日，疾病预防控制中心报告说，现在有1.72亿居住在美国的人已完全接种疫苗。其中，至少6.1 % 的亚洲人（非西班牙裔）和0.3 % 的夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民群体至少接种过一次疫苗，估计有626万人。  “仅在美国，我们就已接种了 3 亿多剂疫苗。这为我们积攒了大量的疫苗经验，”医学博士、工商管理学硕士、美国卫生与公众服务部医务总监 Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy说到。 “而我们在这些经验当中看到了两件事情：第一，疫苗在预防 COVID 方面仍然非常有效。 第二，它们还保留了非常强大的安全性。” AANHPI 社区在疫情期间面临着独特的挑战，包括由于语言障碍、对计算机技术的熟悉程度低、错误信息以及对疫苗或疫苗背后的科学的误解而难以获得有关 COVID-19 和疫苗的信息. “作为一名科学家，最让我担心的是缺乏关于 AANHPI 人群的分类数据，”美国卫生与公众服务部医务办公室中尉Adelaida M. Rosario博士说。“缺乏针对我们多元人种的特定数据掩盖了由社会经济、健康和可及性所造成的不平等现象。 这样会让我们的多族裔社区不被看见，让人觉得隐形。” 医学专家们一致同意以下的CDC指南尽快接受疫苗注射，来保护能到你的家人，亲人和社区。所有 12 岁及以上的人现在都有资格接种 COVID-19 疫苗。 “我们儿科医生建议家中有 12 …
