Connecticut has been among the states leading the pack nationally on vaccinating its residents overall, but deep disparities remain. This hour, we get the latest from Connecticut Public Radio reporters about what’s driving the state’s racial inequities in vaccination rates.

And later, some teaching programs are seeing drops in enrollment. After a challenging year for educators, will the profession struggle to recruit young people to become teachers?

GUESTS:

• Nicole Leonard - Health Reporter for Connecticut Public Radio
• Frankie Graziano - Reporter for Connecticut Public Radio
• Jeff Leake - President of the Connecticut Education Association (CEA), the largest teacher’s union in Connecticut
