Which ethnic groups are most eager to get vaccinated in Southern California counties?
“There is indeed work to do … particularly among Latinos in Orange County. Outreach work,” said Andrew Noymer, an [associate professor], epidemiologist and demographer at UCI Irvine, by email. “I continue to maintain that local retail pharmacies are superior to mega-sites for reaching most people, including underrepresented minorities.” But there’s no need for hand-wringing just yet: Vaccines only became available to everyone ages 16 and older on April 15. “We have only been ‘wide’ for two weeks. I remain optimistic that the differentials will even out,” Noymer said.
