FOX News ChannelOn Sunday, Feb. 28, at 10pm ET, FOX News Channel presents America Together With Harris Faulkner: The Shot, a one-hour special dedicated to dispelling myths, presenting scientific data and answering viewer questions about the coronavirus vaccines.
FOX News Channel’s Harris Faulkner, who anchors The Faulkner Focus and coanchors Outnumbered on weekdays, hosts the primetime special, which will feature a number of medical experts to answer viewers’ frequently asked questions about the massive rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination program.
“We’re really getting into the heart of the vaccination process, the concerns, the questions around it,” Faulkner says. “It’s going to be an hour packed with information.”
The program also examines racial disparities in vaccine distribution within communities of color, how the shots are administered, how the economy will be impacted, and what America will be like in the coming months.
“The NAACP and COVID Collaborative studies showed 14% of Blacks and 34% of those in the Latino community say they trust the COVID vaccine. So that’s a lot of people who don’t,” Faulkner says. “Many of our essential workers who are people of color, many of our neighbors and people in more economically challenged conditions and neighborhoods, don’t have regular relationships with doctors. They don’t have connections to health care unless an emergency comes up and they go to the ER. So if they are having questions about the vaccine, they don’t have that person in their lives that they can go to and ask, someone they already have formed a relationship of trust with.”
The mixed messages from medical or political officials about COVID and the vaccines has contributed to some of the skepticism, but Faulkner believes that many people are simply uncomfortable with how rapidly the scientific data and recommendations are changing due to continually evolving research.
“Doctors are in practice. There’s a reason why they call it that. They’re practicing medicine now with something they’ve never seen,” Faulkner says. “And they’re bringing us along for all of those trials, and that sometimes can be frustrating and a little scary for people.”

Hoping against how that America’s frontline doctors & Robert Kennedy Jr.would be included in your research & show. If these cautions are left out you are no being fully transparent with the American people. Sadly, pretty sure Fox will not allow the truth of these researchers.
Hi Harris,
Thanks for having this show regarding the Covid19 vaccine. I have seen reports stating many concerns as to health problems that could happen soon after receiving it or later on. Such as the antibodies created could cause lung damage. Also, MRNA continuously replicating itself causing other health issues over time. Please do whatever you can to look into the “unknowns” on this vaccine. At this point I do not plan to get it. Much more info is needed. Thanks!
I am vaccinated with the 2 Pfizer vaccines, that’s it for me! Will not be taking booster shots or shots for the variants…done!
How do I submit a question about the COVID vaccine safety for the show on Sunday.
If I’ve been vaccinated why continue to wear a mask ?
I always love your shows and I will watch this special! I am scheduled to get the shot on my 75th birthday in April, but may cancel and not get the shot! My wife doesn’t want the shot!
Great host. Smart move Fox
your funeral…your choice… unfortunately you can cause others to have funerals as well because of your choice…..
I hope you give balanced coverage. Like there is so much we don’t know about the effects of mRNA on our genes. Just as many doctors question the long term effects on our genes as those that don’t. I will never get the vaccine.
Hi, Harris, thank you for given us a voice. I’m in a suburb of Portland, Oregon. There are 750,000 Senior Citizens in Oregon who Gov. Brown expects to get on line to several vaccine sites every Monday and Thursday morning to sign up for a Covid vsccine. My husband and I and all our Senior friends have been doing this activity for several weeks without success. We are all computer savvy but to no avail. Would really appreciate an investigative reporter to look into why Seniors in Oregon are being neglected.
Thank you for all you do.
