New York City Initial Vaccine Data Show Deep Race Disparity
“New York City broke down its Covid-19 vaccination data by ethnicity for the first time, with the mayor underscoring a “profound problem” with racial inequality. White residents made up almost half of the people who have received at least one dose, despite consisting of only a third of the population. Latinos, 29% of the city, only accounted for 15% of those vaccinated. The lowest ratio was among Black residents — even though they make up almost a quarter of the city’s population, they only accounted for 11% of those vaccinated.”
