Who is dying vs. Who is vaccinated in Chicago.
Three weeks into Phase 1b and the inequity is widening
Three weeks into Phase 1b and the inequity is widening
The typical response to the phase 1a disparity was "well that's where the healthcare workers live". That excuse no longer holds water.
Less impacted neighborhoods on the north side are receiving most of the 1st doses in Phase 1b

However Protect Chicago Plus has been ineffective to date
Most discouraging is that the high mortality neighborhoods aren't catching up during phase 1b, continuing to lag in 1st dose vaccination rate.
If anything the gap is widening as vaccination rates accelerate in the least impacted zip codes (top line)

Innovations like @Zocdoc are great for easy scheduling for those with smartphones and free time, but will likely undermine the Protect Chicago Plus plan without geographic restrictions on who can book appointments https://twitter.com/WF_Parker/status/1356719505884516354?s=20
Blaming this on hesitancy is unacceptable. You can't be hesitant if you have no access to the vaccine. @UChicagoMed called our southside patients to distribute phase 1b vaccine and the majority of our doses have gone to Black and Latinx people https://twitter.com/ProfLWiley/status/1358884970312454146?s=20
