San Diego County is releasing demographic data on COVID-19 booster shots. As ABC 10News Reporter Jared Aarons explains, a deep dive into the numbers shows the booster rollout faces many of the same challenges from the initial vaccine rollout.

NBC 7 Investigates analyzed county data on vaccination rates by zip code.
County health workers focused a lot of attention and energy on getting shots in arms in Latinos living along the border and in the South Bay. And for a good reason – these communities comprised a lion’s share of new COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
And it appears that effort has paid off.
In 92173 in San Ysidro, where nearly 95% of residents are Latino, nearly 65% of people are vaccinated.
But it s not just down south - a lot of zip codes along the coast and up north are reporting high vaccination numbers too.
