The number of vaccines going to Black and Latino people in Chicago has gone up but the city still has work to do in closing the equity gap, according to newly released data. The city has improved its vaccination record among minority groups since December, when Chicago began receiving doses for distribution. White people initially were receiving roughly 60% of doses per week, a figure that’s dropped to about 40% in the past week as city officials pushed efforts to promote the vaccine in Black and Latino neighborhoods, city officials said.
