LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) Mayo Clinic Health System and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater La Crosse hosted a community discussion Wednesday on barriers to getting everyone a COVID-19 vaccine and how neighborhood vaccine clinics may help.
So far, within La Crosse County, over 40,000 of the residents have received at least one dose of COVID vaccine. As of two weeks ago, 24.1% were Caucasian, while 10.9%, 11.3%, and 6.8% have been Native American, Asian, and Black, respectively.
A group of community leaders will have a Zoom meeting at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to help the area understand the barriers those communities face when attempting to get a vaccine and help overcome vaccine hesitancy in those populations.
