Description

CBS Miami February 19, 2021 US Congresswoman Frederica Wilson has announced that the Biden-Harris administration will soon make the north campus of Miami Dade College a mass vaccination site. Wilson said the site is desperately needed as Black people have tested positive for the virus at twice the rate of whites and the vaccination rate is equally dismal. The numbers are particularly dire in Miami-Dade County communities like Opa-Locka, for example, where 53 percent of the population is black and living in poverty and the vaccination rate is the lowest in the state.
