Dean Katherine Baicker Discusses Challenges and the Need for Equal Access in the Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccines

Harris Public Policy Dean Katherine Baicker was featured in The Chicago Sun Times discussing the importance of equity in the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.

“There are so many different dimensions of ‘inequality. When you say, ‘Let’s stop inequality before it starts in access to care’ … in some ways, we’re not going to be able to undo all of the inequalities that are already so tragically manifested in who’s bearing the burden of this disease," said Baicker. 

“But does that mean starting with underserved communities? Does it mean starting with the people who are at the greatest health risk? Does it mean starting with the health care workers who are taking care of those people? Does it mean starting with the teachers who would be able to keep kids in school for people who can’t work at home?"
