COVID vaccine disparity in New Orleans: Why inoculations are lagging in poor, Black neighborhoods
“Across the New Orleans region, coronavirus vaccinations are lagging in neighborhoods that are poorer and Blacker than those around them while the most affluent areas are getting shots at rates well above the norm. New data show a familiar pattern: People living in the same parts of Jefferson, Orleans and St. Tammany parishes that are on the low end of metrics such as poverty and health are also less likely to be vaccinated three months after inoculations became available.”
