Mapping Vaccine Equity

LOS ANGELES — L.A. Controller Ron Galperin April 8, unveiled a new COVID-19 dashboard that maps and tracks vaccinations throughout L.A. County, including neighborhood counts of vaccines distributed by age, race and gender. Building on his initial dashboard released in May 2020 as part of the comprehensive COVID-19 Resource Hub, Controller Galperin’s dashboard now includes virus case and death rates by city and neighborhood, and keeps an updated tally of the top 10 communities with the highest number of cases over the last 14 days.

The updated dashboard is the only tool at the City of Los Angeles of its kind, with data gathered from the L.A. County Department of Public Health and updated regularly. Users can navigate the data, which is fully interactive with the maps, or search by address to find vaccination rates, along with cases and deaths by community.
