Summary
Findings. Despite expanded eligibility for vaccination, vaccine supply has begun to exceed demand and vaccination rates are trending down in many states and jurisdictions across the country. States and jurisdictions are changing tactics to expand access and increase vaccine uptake; however, communities of color continue to face challenges accessing COVID-19 vaccines. Announcements by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna about the likely need for a booster shot caused some to express their belief this is a business decision rather than one that is in the best interest of public health. Lastly, parents are confused about the benefits of vaccination for children. Misinformation is increasing as the first Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 vaccination of children aged 12–15 years nears.
Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to increase transparency around rationale for updated guidance, respond to gaps in information, and confront misinformation with evidence-based messaging. The goal of these efforts is to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. More research should be conducted to better understand the role that incentives play in a person’s motivation and intent to get vaccinated. Regular updates should be provided on the benefits, safety, side effects, and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines for children and adolescents in addition to adults.
