Blacks, followed by Hispanics have the highest rates of hospitalization and death in FL. Blacks are also the least vaccinated demographic, with only 26% vaccinated compared to 42% of Hispanics and 51% of Whites.

The Feds need to do some kind of outreach or something to get the Black and Hispanic communities in particular to trust the vaccine more and get the shots. They are readily available and free so access shouldn’t be an issue.
