In urban areas you're right but I wonder about those who live in rural areas. Having spent part of my youth in a rural area that was majority black, my first instinct would be to set up clinics at churches. Not everyone has a way to get to the county seat during business hours when the county health department is open but one way or another, pretty much everyone found a way to get to church on Sunday.

Blacks made up 7.8 percent of the rural and 13.1 percent of the urban population. 2 - https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural/ua-facts.html https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/g... US population is urban: 249,253,271, rural: 59,492,276 Doing some math, ~12% of the black population is rural, and moreover, other ethnic groups represent a larger share of the rural pop. For the sake of this analysis, rural lack of access to vaccines does not explain low vaccination rates among blacks as a whole.
