Gavin Newsom acknowledged Sunday that state and local health officials have stumbled in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine equitably among Latino and Black communities in California. Speaking at a mobile vaccination clinic in Inglewood, Newsom said the state needs to “do more and do better” to provide outreach and set up vaccine sites directly in the communities that have been hardest hit by the virus. Today we visited Ramona Gardens in Boyle Heights where @fema set up a mobile vaccination site. This is in a community disproportionately impacted by #COVID19, for some folks who may not have access to transportation or internet. CA’s vaccine distribution will be made equitable.
