White Texans make up more than half of all COVID-19 vaccine recipients whose race or ethnicity was reported to the Texas Department of State Health Services, according to new state data. State officials stress that the information provides an incomplete picture, but health care advocates say it raises questions about whether the state s vaccine distribution has been equitable. Even as the coronavirus kills Black and Hispanic Americans at disproportionately higher rates, advocates warn that these same communities could face disparities in access to the vaccine across the country. The demographic vaccine data, released for the first time last week, show that among vaccine recipients whose race is known, the number of white Texans who have received at least one dose is more than triple the number of Hispanic vaccine recipients and more than seven times higher than Black vaccine recipients.
