Vaughan Gething and Jane Hutt’s message to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities in Wales. The Minister for Health and Social Services, Vaughan Gething today outlined the need to increase the up-take of vaccinations for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, to strongly refute misinformation about the vaccine and issue a plea for all ethnic communities to help in the fight against COVID-19. Minster for Health and Social Services Vaughan Gething stated: As we all know, Covid-19 is having a disproportionate impact on our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. This isn’t fiction, its fact. Our communities have experienced higher levels of illness and, sadly, death rates have been higher than among the white population.
