About 72% of Americans have had at least one dose of the covid-19 vaccine. During most of the vaccine rollout, Hispanics and black Americans were less likely to get vaccinated than white Americans. The gap between white and Hispanic Americans has largely narrowed, but vaccination rates for the black community are still significantly lower. KHN reporter Sarah Varney and PBS NewsHour producer Jason Kane report on how Hartford, Connecticut, has managed to close the gap in vaccination rates.
