Stacey Abrams launches campaign to combat racial inequities with vaccine
Stacey Abrams finds it incomprehensible that the communities and regions most ravaged by the pandemic in Georgia have been getting the lowest percentages of vaccines and resources.
According to the data that Abrams’ Fair Count has gathered, Southwest Georgia has been an “epicenter for the state’s troubled vaccine rollout.” African Americans make up more than 75 percent of the COVID-19 deaths in Albany, Abrams stated, yet that demographic is being vaccinated about half as often as their Caucasian counterparts. Albany is a more rural region in Georgia, nearly 200 miles south of Atlanta.
