California is trying to vaccinate as many people as possible and as quickly as possible. And yet, new variants are emerging throughout the world at a dizzying rate. This week, SoCal in 17 provides extensive coverage on the latest information and insight into vaccine hesitancy. Host Alex Cohen receives an update from Dr. Jerry Abraham, who is heading vaccine distribution at a South L.A. health center. Then Alex gets insight from Bishop Kenneth Ulmer of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood on vaccine hesitancy within the Black community.
