Our people were left behind | Low vaccination rates among Travis Co. Latinos not surprising to advocates The Travis County Latino community makes up almost 34% of the county s population but accounts for just 19% of vaccinations. Author: Mari Salazar (KVUE) Updated: 11:13 PM CDT May 13, 2021 AUSTIN, Texas Vaccination rates for Austin s Latino community are alarming to some advocates, but they said it s not surprising. The Austin Latino Coalition said throughout the entire pandemic, help was lacking from local government to vaccine minority populations. The coalition s leader, Paul Saldaña, said the State of Texas recently gave them resources to vaccinate more people. They actually appointed providers and contractors to our coalition. So for the last month, we have been providing vaccines to our hard-to-reach vulnerable populations, specifically in the areas of ZIP codes that have been most disproportionately impacted, said Saldaña.
