Low-income communities of colour are at risk of being left behind when it comes to access to the COVID-19 vaccine once it's available to the general public.
The US Department of Health and Human Services announced that large pharmacy chains will distribute the COVID-19 vaccine.
However, some low-income communities are lacking accessible pharmacies.
People in many poor communities across the US are worried that a dearth of accessible pharmacies may limit their access to COVID-19 vaccines once they're available for the general public.
