Spectrum Bay News 9 s Justice For All special: Vaccination Hesitation in the Black Community, airs March 22 at 7 p.m.
According to the CDC, as of March 15, more than 71 million people have been vaccinated in the U.S. Out of those vaccinations, only half reported the race/ethnicity of the people vaccinated. Those numbers showed 66.1% of white people were vaccinated, 8.6% of Hispanics and 7.6% of Black people have been vaccinated.
Those numbers are concerning to many because of how much more likely certain races are to die from Covid-19 complications. The CDC data shows th n at Black or African Americans are 2.9 times more likely to be hospitalized from Covid-19 complications and 1.9 times more likely to die when compared to their white counterparts. The numbers from American Indians and Hispanics are just as devastating.
