With Massachusetts Turning Focus To Mass Vaccine Sites, What Does It Mean For Equity Efforts?

But critics point to continued racial disparities in vaccination rates, with some arguing that the state’s increased focus on mass vaccination sites will cause even greater inequities. Michael Curry, president and CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and a member of Gov. Charlie Baker’s COVID Vaccine Advisory Group, joined Jim Braude to discuss.
