Vaccines are becoming more accessible to minority populations as pop-up sites enter their communities. Ohioans of color are not getting vaccinated at the same rates as other populations. A Kent State University geographer has found mass vaccination locations have not always been convenient for these populations. Summit County Public Health is moving away from mass vaccination sites by adding vaccine pop-up locations in neighborhoods with dense populations who may not have access to reliable transportation. But Health Commissioner Donna Skoda notes that transportation wasn’t the only barrier these populations were facing. “What’s interesting to us is that it’s almost like a culture of not leaving their neighborhood,” she said.
