PHILADELPHIA -- As one of Philadelphia’s first vaccine ambassadors, Dominai Taylor’s capacity for listening is equally as important as her compassion for those she listens to.
During her weekly visits to city-operated shelters to speak about the COVID-19 vaccine with people experiencing homelessness, Taylor, 38, who is currently experiencing homelessness herself, has listened closely as others have shared their fears and beliefs.
“Some of them say they don’t want the vaccine because of the Tuskegee [experiment]; they’re afraid that the government would put something inside of them they can’t get rid of,” she said. “Other people feel like they can heal on their own. And I get some people who say ‘I had it already. I kicked it before, I’ll kick it again.’ ”
