San Antonio s Metropolitan Health District is administering COVID-19 vaccines at Fiesta events to try to increase accessibility.
The Fiesta festival in San Antonio. Juneteenth. Pride celebrations. Graduations. People are out and about again as they get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. But an increasing number of cases of the Delta variant in the United States has many experts urging caution.
The Delta variant has been found in at least 85 countries and is responsible for at least 20% of new coronavirus infections in the U.S. It is expected to overtake the Alpha variant, B.1.1.7., as the dominant strain in the U.S. sometime this summer.
New data from Louisiana’s Department of Health shows less than 10% of COVID-19 vaccines have gone to the state’s Black residents, and health experts say the state must address distrust to increase COVID-19 vaccination in Black communities.
Louisiana released preliminary data about the more than 272,000 people in the state who have received one or both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine Friday, showing 9.86% of vaccines were administered to Black people, who make up 33% of the state’s population.
Although the preliminary data shows an alarming disparity in vaccinations, direct comparisons to the state’s overall population are flawed because LDH has not released a breakdown of the demographics of the health care workers, long-term care facility residents or people over 70 who qualify to receive the vaccines.
