Virtual Briefing: Equitable Vaccine Distribution

Thank you for joining CHCI to talk about equitable vaccine distribution with policy experts and industry professionals Rep. Jesús G. “Chuy” García (IL-04), Rep. Lori Trahan (MA-3), Matt A. Barreto, Ph.D., Maria S. Gomez, RN, MPH, and Cristina Londoño.

As of January 2021, Latinos accounted for over 30% of the nation’s COVID-19 cases despite making up only 18.6% of the current population. As a result, this discussion addressed equitable vaccine distribution, vaccine hesitancy within Latino communities, and the long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic
