California's vaccine delivery is among most unequal in the US, report finds

CDC data found that the state has given a smaller proportion of vaccines to counties with the most vulnerable residents

California has failed to equitably distribute vaccines to residents in its poorest and most vulnerable regions, according to a new report from federal researchers that found the nation's most populous state has one of most unequal vaccine programs.

The report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that California ranked among the worst five states for unequal vaccine distribution. Researchers from the CDC analyzed vaccines administered from 14 December to 1 March, and compared where doses were distributed against county-level demographic data.
