It found that in the US, white people are being vaccinated at twice the rate of African Americans and 2.5 times the rate of Hispanic Americans.

研究發現，在美國，白人的疫苗接種率是非裔美國人的兩倍，是西班牙裔美國人的2.5倍。

That inequality is both stark and deadly.

Communities of color are at a higher risk of severe or fatal covid 19 infections.

有色人種社區發生嚴重或致命的科維德感染的風險更高。

But interviews with dozens of nonprofits and philanthropic groups reveal no comprehensive federal effort to address the problem.

但對數十家非營利組織和慈善團體的採訪顯示，聯邦政府並沒有為解決這一問題做出全面努力。

It's one thing to have efficiency that we have to have equity as well.

有效率是一回事，我們也要有公平。

Under the new Biden administration, the federal government is only now getting started on serious efforts to promote vaccination in minority communities, advocates say What's needed is a nationally coordinated marketing campaign.

在拜登新政府的上司下，聯邦政府現在才開始認真努力在少數族裔社區推廣疫苗接種，倡導者說，需要的是一個全國性的協調營銷活動。

Some want to revive a nationwide network that helped boost response rates to the 2020 census in minority communities and turn it toward vaccination.

一些人希望恢復一個全國性的網絡，幫助提高少數民族社區對2020年人口普查的響應率，並將其轉向疫苗接種。

But an effective effort, they said, could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

但他們說，有效的努力，可能會花費數億美元。

A Reuters Ipsos poll in December showed black people in particular were far more likely to fear vaccination than white people.

路透社益普索12月的一項民調顯示，尤其是黑人對疫苗接種的恐懼程度遠遠高於白人。

 This week, the Biden administration announced that it would spend $250 million to encourage Covid 19 safety and vaccination among underserved populations, and more money could come from a massive Covid 19 rescue package that is set to go into effect as soon as this week. 

本週，拜登政府宣佈將花費2.5億美元鼓勵在服務不足的人群中進行科維德19的安全和疫苗接種，更多的資金可能來自一個大規模的科維德19救援方案，該方案最快將在本週生效。
