PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Maine’s effort to track racial equality in its coronavirus vaccine distribution may be complicated by a high rate of nonresponses on the data collected from those who have already gotten inoculated.
About 40% of people who received vaccinations did not provide information about their race, the Bangor Daily News reported.
More than 92,000 people in the state have received at least the first dose of the vaccine.
The data that’s available shows 96.6% of the people who reported their race or ethnicity were white.
That’s slightly more than the percentage of the state’s total population that is white.
