Race Versus Time: Targeting Vaccine To The Most Vulnerable Is No Speedy Task-NPR

Early in the pandemic, San Diego County recognized its COVID-19 relief efforts needed to reach its large Latino population, and set up a task force in June to lay out plans — well ahead of when vaccines became available. Last month, it opened its first vaccination sites where the target population lives and works: Close to the Mexican border. But the people who showed up for appointments were white, more affluent, and didn't live there. Those needing vaccine most aren't getting as much of the limited supply as the numbers suggest they should be getting.
