Description:During the COVID-19 pandemic, counties in the United States with greater social vulnerability, measured using CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), were more likely to become areas with rapidly increasing cases. Data on COVID-19 vaccination efforts to date show evidence of similar disparities occurring in vaccine doses administered. Analyses found that counties with higher levels of social vulnerability have had lower vaccination coverage than counties with lower levels of social vulnerability. Disparities in vaccination coverage were observed in the majority of states, indicating that additional efforts should be implemented to increase access to COVID-19 vaccination for communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19. To support equitable vaccination uptake as COVID-19 vaccine supply increases, it will be critical to ensure widespread access to vaccination. It will also be critical to increase demand for and confidence in vaccination, especially for people experiencing disparities in immunization due to social vulnerability, vaccine hesitancy, and access barriers.
