YPSILANTI, MI Pop-up vaccination clinics are being credited by Washtenaw County leaders as a key part of combatting the disproportionately low number of Black and Latino residents getting shots.
Five pop-up vaccine clinics were done in March in areas most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 2,084 doses administered at schools, churches and community sites, 239 (11.5%) of those vaccinated were Hispanic or Latino, while 606 (29%) were Black.
