Keck Medicine of USC nurses and USC School of Pharmacy students vaccinated more than 400 people from the Eastside of Los Angeles on Saturday to help counter disparities in COVID-19 inoculation.
Even though 43% percent of white and 39% of Asian American seniors have received at least one dose of the vaccine, just 29% of Latino and 24% of Black seniors have been vaccinated, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Los Angeles County officials said these disparities are due to long-standing issues related to residents’ access to health care and education. Wealthier and whiter communities have much higher vaccination rates in Los Angeles than lower-income, more diverse areas.
