Vaccinating Black Americans is essential; key states aren’t doing the work to combat hesitancy Though African Americans are being hospitalized for COVID-19 at more than triple the rate of white Americans, wariness of the new vaccine is higher in the Black population than in most communities. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlighted communities of color as a “critical population” to vaccinate. But ProPublica found little in the way of concrete action to make sure that happens. It will be up to states to make sure residents get the vaccine, but ProPublica reviewed the distribution plans of the nine states with the most Black residents and found that many have barely invested in overcoming historic mistrust of the medical establishment and high levels of vaccine hesitancy in the Black community. Few states could articulate specific measures they are taking to address the vaccine skepticism.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn to submit his resignation if the agency doesn t clear Pfizer s coronavirus vaccine for emergency use by the end of the day Friday, according to multiple reports.
The warning led the FDA to accelerate its timetable for clearing America s first Covid-19 vaccine from Saturday morning to later Friday, according to the Washington Post, which cited anonymous sources. This is an untrue representation of the phone call with the Chief of Staff, Hahn told CNBC in a statement. The FDA was encouraged to continue working expeditiously on Pfizer-BioNTech s EUA request. FDA is committed to issuing this authorization quickly, as we noted in our statement this morning.
