But what is causing this? In this episode, host Ashna Hurynag is joined by Dr Nikki Kanani, who launched the NHS blueprint to tackle BAME vaccine hesitancy, and Reverend Nims Obunge, pastor at the Freedom Church in Tottenham, who is engaged in efforts to educate people about the benefits of the coronavirus vaccine.
