Campaigns needed to be concerted to ensure vaccines made it to the black and brown communities of the US because:

- we tend to be overrepresented in jobs that required interaction such as nursing, hospitality/service, etc.

- we tend to live in smaller, denser situations

- neighborhoods where we are the majority are underserved by public services

- and we have historical reasons for not trusting the government
