But local leaders should also prioritize vulnerable communities, the committee said. The addition comes after criticism of the group’s draft report released last month, which did not mention minority communities severely affected by the epidemic.
The committee recommends that within each phase of vaccination, officials prioritize people in high-vulnerability areas, identified by a tool such as the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. Index U.S. Census variables are specifically used to identify communities in need of disaster support that the committee says take into account factors that increase the risk of Covid-19 to ethnic minorities.
