As the state opens up vaccine registration to residents aged 65 and older this week, gaps in vaccine equity and access leave community members and activists concerned about roll-out for marginalized and under-served communities.
From an English-only vaccine appointment website that requires computer literacy skills and personal technology to navigate alone, to a lack of vaccine education and skepticism, to the finite allotment of vaccines, barriers to entry abound. The issues are systemic, historic, and concrete. They span histories of medical abuse in the Black community and the literal difficulties of signing up for a vaccine online. And community organizers are looking for solutions.

In the race to get people immunized in the U.S., pharmacists made a key discovery that vials of Pfizer s covid-19 vaccine contain an extra dose. Extracting that extra bit of vaccine, however, hinges upon the availability of a specialized syringe that is in short supply.
When a medication or vaccine is injected, some amount of it can linger in the syringe in what s known as the dead space between the plunger and needle. Low-dead space syringes are designed to minimize that, and with it, waste. That makes them a crucial tool in extracting six doses, instead of the five that were expected, from each Pfizer vial.
