LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Pharmacies in Saline County are bringing the vaccine directly to minority communities as African American and LatinX groups get vaccinated at a slower rate.
African Americans make up about 15% of Arkansas population, yet just 10% of the distributed vaccine has gone to them. I think part of it is accessed because everything is so computerized, and you have to have internet, Robin Freeman said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Local pharmacies are playing catch-up with vaccine distribution after the snowstorm canceled thousands of appointments.
The vaccine distribution center at Westside Pharmacy in Benton is a little busier than usual. We are basically tripling and quadrupling our appointments, Pharmacist Allie Staton said.
The pharmacy canceled about a thousand appointments last week because of the winter storm. So, this Saturday, it is hosting its largest mass vaccination clinic yet at First United Methodist in Benton. It will go from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
