White people are getting vaccinated at higher rates than Black and Latino Americans

A CNN analysis of data from 14 states found vaccine coverage is twice as high among White people on average than it is among Black and Latino people.

"We have to make sure we think about all the ways that people can give in (to getting vaccinated) and we have to make sure we have vaccine available for them when they call in."

Some researchers said it was alarming to have disparities so early in the process when most of the people getting vaccinated are health care workers.

"Everybody needs it, but you've got a fire going in the Black community and you need to be running to the community to vaccinate them."

What Biden's 5-point plan means for Black and Latino people

Black pastors and community advocates are also urging President Joe Biden's administration to act swiftly in its promise to reach communities of color with the vaccine and lean on them for help doing it.

"All of the real estate in the community should be used."

Fraser-Howze said former President Donald Trump's administration failed to partner with Black churches and trusted leaders that could help administer the vaccine and reach the people of color who qualify for the first phases but are hesitant or don't know where to get the shot.

She said she is confident Choose Health Life and other Black advocacy groups could help boost the number of Black people getting vaccinated.

Biden's five-point plan includes putting federally supported vaccination centers in high-risk neighborhoods, setting up mobile vaccination sites in medically underserved areas, administering the vaccine at independent pharmacies, partnering with community health centers and ensuring high risk facilities such as jails and homeless shelters have access to the vaccine.

"We are going to make sure there are vaccination centers in communities hit hardest by the pandemic, in Black and Latino communities and rural communities as well," Biden said.
