Calls to root out vaccine misinformation on social media platforms

[KSTP & KARE11, February 21, 2021] Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is continuing to work to root out misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine.

At a news conference at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Klobuchar, along with Allina Health's Dr. Kevin Best, urged the public to only follow medical advice from credible sources. 

“We knew this was going to be an issue that we ran into with other vaccines," said Dr. Kevin Best, a physician with Allina Health. "So one of the strategies we took within Allina is to address our staff and our providers with how the vaccine works, what the safety of it is, so that they were able to feel free to lead by example but to also get the vaccines themselves so that they can share those stories with their family members and friends.”
