Wealthy residents got disproportionate share of vaccines in this Texas county - msnNOW

Of the 3,071 doses given out at the Fair Park vaccination site, 461 doses went to people in three high-income zip codes, while people from two zip codes with the highest number of COVID-19 infections received a total of 49 doses, according to Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said a link to the appointment system that was shared among people in North Dallas enabled them to skip the line.

Jenkins attributed the disparity to existing inequalities: compared to high-income people, low-income people are less likely to have reliable transportation, internet access or equal access to information.
