Before a vaccine for COVID-19 was even produced, Dr. Emily K. Brunson and Dr. Monica Schoch-Spana knew that there would be resistance to vaccinations and barriers to equitable distribution for people of color.
Brunson, an associate professor and associate chair of anthropology at Texas State University, studies vaccination decision-making, and Schoch-Spana focuses on community resilience to disasters as a medical anthropologist and senior scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
