    Lack of data hampers efforts to improve racial equity in vaccinations

    Wed, 2021-02-10 10:11 — mike kraft

    Mr. Biden has repeatedly said racial equity will be at the core of his administration’s coronavirus response. On Tuesday, White House officials announced a program to ship doses of vaccine directly to a network of federally funded clinics in underserved areas, beginning next week.
