Rebecca Weintraub, MD, Director of Vaccine Delivery at Ariadne Labs, commented on possible discrepancies in study data about the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness against the Delta variant of COVID-19.
The Deseret News reported on the Vaccine Equity Planner, noting that with the delta variant spreading, vaccine deserts are becoming increasingly worrisome.
In a June 23 video press conference, Director of the Mississippi Office of Health Protection Jim Craig shares the Vaccine Equity Planner, created by Ariadne Labs, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Google.
The tool identifies “vaccine deserts,” where people have little or no convenient access to vaccination and potential new vaccination sites to address the gaps and support equitable access.
