In Chicago, these neighborhoods also have lower COVID-19 vaccination rates, including among children, and higher recent COVID-19 hospitalization rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact remains that vaccination rates across the city vary widely by school and neighborhood. A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.chalkbeat.org\/2022\/1\/7\/22872671\/chicago-schools-covid-vaccination-testing-rates-vary-widely-by-campus-data-shows\">data analysis by&nbsp;<em>Chalkbeat<\/em>&nbsp;revealed<\/a>&nbsp;that majority Black high schools had an average vaccination rate of 28%, compared to majority Latino high schools\u2019 average of 57%. Opt-in rates for school-based testing also vary widely, with some South and West Side schools having fewer than five students opted in. This gaping disparity shows the need for resources and ease-of-access to COVID vaccines and tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tommorrow Snyder, Stand\u2019s Community &amp; Family Partnerships Director,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stand.org\/illinois\/sharing-my-story\/\">shared her personal COVID story<\/a> in a blog and related videos. She discusses her own experiences living with long-COVID and getting the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as the work she leads in spreading the word about resources and information related to vaccine and testing access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partners in Health and the Chicagoland Vaccine Partnership have compiled a number of resources for Chicagoans to help protect themselves and their families.
