Episode 47: The Voices of Vaccine Hesitancy The 18th Airborne Corps Podcast

    • History

Ok, ok, we promise…this is our LAST episode about COVID.
 
If you heard episode 46, you got insight from three medical experts on the vaccine and the Delta variant. In this episode, we speak with four Soldiers about their personal decision regarding vaccination. Each Soldier speaks individually with host Joe Buccino about the reasons that went into his or her decision. One of the Soldiers has, to this point, refused vaccination.
 
We spoke privately (off-mic) with more than 40 Soldiers across the Army and we are certain these four discussions represent a broader set of views on the issues across the force.
 
These discussions are important, and these are Soldiers that should be heard: It’s critical that Army leaders to understand the set of factors at work here.
 
So, in the interest in giving voice to the concerns out in our formation about the COVID vaccine, we give this episode to four Soldiers who agreed to go on-air with us.
 
The 18th Airborne Corps podcast is the official podcast of the US Army’s XVIII Airborne Corps….but, I guess you figured that out based on the title.
 
We release a new episode every Tuesday (on rare occasions, such as this one, we'll release one on Thursday as well).
 
If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a five-star rating and a review, as that helps others find the show.
