"COVID Vaccine Rollout: Clinics Anxious, Americans Vaccinated, Supply Remains Tight"

Community health centers across the United States are still waiting for their shipments of updated Covid vaccines, weeks after the rollout began. The delays are preventing vulnerable adults and children from getting vaccinated, exacerbating health disparities based on race and class. These federally funded health centers, which provide free or low-cost services to underserved populations, cannot afford to cover the costs of the vaccines on their own. While some centers are facing delayed shipments or limited doses, others are struggling with vaccine hesitancy among their patients. The situation highlights the need for improved access to vaccines and addressing mistrust in marginalized communities.
