Wisconsin DHS Ads Data to COVID-19 Racial and Ethnic Disparities Page

Friday, June 11th, 2021 -- 10:02 AM

(WMTV) The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has now added vaccination data to the existing COVID-19 racial and ethnic disparities page.

This will join other data relating to the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color including number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths by group.

This new data discusses the current gap between white populations and people of color in regards to vaccination rates, with white populations being shown to much higher rates than others.

The DHS says that many causes that contribute to health disparities, including access to healthcare and income, may also be preventing people from being vaccinated.
