The Rockefeller Foundation Grant Helps Ensure Greater Access to Vaccines for BIPOC Communities and Build Long-Standing Change
As the country continues to grapple with the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on the health and economic well-being of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), Families USA is launching a strategic initiative to help states and communities equitably distribute Covid-19 vaccinations. This effort – made possible with financial support from The Rockefeller Foundation and in partnership with Health Equity Solutions and Manatt Health – will help achieve the Equity-First Vaccination Initiative’s national equity goal of vaccinating at least 70 million people of color by July 2021. The project also aims to inform equitable responses to provide immunization boosters and other key health equity concerns.

Sen. Mary Daugherty Abrams, D-Meriden, center, championed passage Tuesday of the bill declaring racism a public health crisis.
The state Senate voted Tuesday to declare racism a public health crisis and convene a panel to study the effect of racism on health care.
The declaration was part of an omnibus bill that also calls for better data collection on race and ethnicity in health care, requires hospitals to conduct implicit bias training for employees who provide direct care to pregnant or postpartum women, mandates that the public health commissioner study the development of a recruitment and retention program for state health care workers who are people of color, and directs the health department to explore whether to create a certification process for doulas.

Transportation workers, mail carriers, teachers, first responders, grocery store employees and others are positioned to be the next groups of people eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Connecticut.
State officials said during a public meeting Tuesday that the state’s Phase 1B vaccination distribution could begin as early as this month and include up to 800,000 workers and residents.
“Not too many more than that, because that allows us to have a somewhat manageable phase size,” said Benjamin Bechtolsheim, COVID-19 vaccination program director at the state Department of Public Health. “We think that that’s something that can be accomplished in roughly 10 weeks of a vaccine rollout.”
