Badger Talks: Disparities in COVID vaccination March 5, 2021
There’s growing concern that there’s a mismatch between who’s getting the COVID-19 vaccine and who’s actually being most affected by the pandemic. Early data shows that of the total number of vaccinated people, a disproportionately small number are Black and Hispanic.
In this Badger Talks video, Tiffany Green, assistant professor in the Departments of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology in the School of Medicine and Public Health, discusses racial disparities when it comes to vaccination.
“I think the disparities in vaccination are a reflection of the underlying disparities that drive Covid-related mobidity and mortality in the first place,” Green says.
