Majority-Black Wards 4, 5, 7 and 8 notched the highest rates of COVID-19 incidence in D.C. yet have the lowest numbers of vaccinated people, a disparity caused by inadequate and differential access to vaccines.
The area encompassing GW has logged one of the highest vaccination rates in the District while recording the second-lowest number of positive cases of any ward, according to city data last week.
The data reveal that the majority of initial vaccinations for residents aged 65 and older have been administered in the central areas of the city, where White residents make up a majority of the population. Experts in public health and epidemiology said the current model for vaccine distribution pits groups against each other instead of focusing on equitable distribution that addresses racial and ethnic disparities.
