This weekend, a lot of us will be visiting relatives. But the visits will be quiet ones.
We left at six in the morning, like pioneers from the asphalt three-deckers of Worcester to the lakes and forests and hills in Maine. There was no Route 495, there wasn’t even the Eisenhower Interstate system, so the drive took all day. My brother and I were loaded into the backseat of the Country Squire station wagon, complete with metal faux-wood side panels, with our grandmother in between us to keep the peace during the seven hour drive for Memorial Day. I got to hold the geraniums.
Boston neighborhoods hardest hit by COVID pandemic have the lowest vaccination rates, city data shows MassLive.com 3/3/2021 Tanner Stening, masslive.com
Many Boston neighborhoods that were hit hard early on in the COVID-19 pandemic are posting fewer vaccinations than others, where the impact has been less severe, according to new data released by the city.
Neighborhoods like Dorchester, East Boston and Mattapan had the lowest rate of first doses administered per capita than all other parts of the city, with 10,636, 10,403 and 10,560 per 100,000 residents, respectively.
Those three neighborhoods, which are predominately communities of color, had some of the highest infection rates in the state earlier in the pandemic. First doses administered per capita in neighborhoods like Jamaica Plain, the South End and West Roxbury were nearly double what they were in harder hit zones, at 18,882, 19,842 and 20,068 per 100,000 respectively, the data shows.
