“There are barriers on top of barriers for these subsets,” said Bobby Mukkamala, a surgeon and chair of a subgroup of the Protect Michigan Coalition responsible for increasing vaccination rates among Michigan s Asian Pacific American population.
As of Wednesday, fewer than 55,000 non-Hispanic Asians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders had received their first doses of vaccine, around 1.9% of the total number of vaccinated Michigan residents.
Health departments and advocates have attempted to address some of these issues. ....
