Rep. Torres blames low vaccine rates in the Bronx on ‘digital divide’
NY Post
New York Rep. Ritchie Torres on Sunday blamed lower COVID-19 vaccination rates in the Bronx on the “digital divide” — as the state prepares to open the shots to all this week.
“The racial disparities in vaccination rates for me is more a consequence of vaccine access than vaccine hesitancy and one of the greatest barriers to vaccine access is the digital divide,” Torres told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” “Those in the Bronx who have no access to the Internet, have much less access to information about vaccination sites and have no real ability to participate in online registration systems.”More Related News
