As more and more North Carolinians receive the COVID-19 vaccines, one population in particular has lagged behind the rest. Less than 4% of the Hispanic community in North Carolina has received a first dose of the potentially lifesaving vaccines.
The numbers are low for a variety of reasons, according to leaders in Hispanic communities.
One issue may be eligibility. The Hispanic population in the state is very young, meaning not as many people qualified under the earliest prioritization groups, which included individuals age 65 or older.
In 2012, the median age of North Carolina’s Hispanic population was estimated to be 24.7 years old, and fewer than 75,000 were above age 50, according to a Carolina Demography report from 2014.
