(WVIR) -A University of Virginia Health physician is blasting the state COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Dr. Ebony Hilton, a physician at UVA Health, says when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines, Black and brown communities are being denied access due to the phase’s rollout structure put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Virginia Department of Health. “Black people in every single age category have higher death rates for COVID-19, higher infection rates for COVID-19, higher hospitalization rates for COVID-19. When you look at phase 1A it’s healthcare workers, of which 60% are white. Phase 1A was also nursing home residents, of which 78% of all nursing home residents are white,” Hilton said.
