She also states that her local clinic, Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center, runs out before she can make it to the front of the line.

I don t mind getting up at 5 in the morning, said Mangum.Black Mississippians make up 16% of the vaccinations, but represent 37% of the states population - a clear disparity.
