1:02Now PlayingThe White House announced an equity intervention pilot program aimed at ensuring vaccines reach high-risk individuals facing barriers to access.
RELATEDDr. Fauci explains why people are not protected from monkeypox
Black and Hispanic people are disproportionately contracting monkeypox virus – but fewer are getting the vaccine, according to early data. About 17,400 cases of the virus have been identified across the nation since May. Black people make up about a third of cases, compared with their 12% share of the overall population, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. Similarly, Hispanic or Latino people make up about 32% of cases, despite making up 19% of the population, according to data as of Aug. 14.
During a Friday briefing, White House officials reported Black people received only 10% of shots against monkeypox, Hispanic people received 22%, and white people received about 47%. Several days after the data was released, the Biden administration on Tuesday announced an equity intervention pilot program aimed at ensuring vaccines reach high-risk individuals facing barriers to access.
