As Latino vaccinations lag in the region, activists push for systemic change

Eagle County, which has the largest Latino population among the three counties making up the Roaring Fork Valley and surrounding environs, 60% of white people have received one dose, compared with 15% of Latinos, who make up 29.6% of Eagle’s population.

Yet the disparity remains clear.
