Description:

COVID-19 Vaccine Equity

COVID-19 has caused more than 1,030,000 deaths in the United States since the start of the pandemic and was the third leading cause of death in 2020 and 2021. Throughout the pandemic, people from racial and ethnic minority groups (Black, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN), and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI)) have been disproportionately affected by death from COVID-19 compared with White people. These inequities have decreased over time, but have not been eliminated.

CDC’s COVID Data Tracker shows that lower proportions of people who are Black, Hispanic/Latino, AI/AN, or NHOPI have received a second booster dose than White and Asian people. There are many factors that create challenges to vaccination access and acceptance, often disproportionately affecting racial and ethnic minority groups. Factors include gaps in education, income and wealth; job access and working conditions; racism and other forms of discrimination; unequal healthcare access and quality; transportation and neighborhood conditions; and lack of trust as a result of past medical racism. Efforts to maintain sufficient up-to-date vaccination must respond to community needs.

COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people—especially those who are boosted—from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and even dying. Because COVID-19 vaccines are readily available, the nation is closer than ever to ending the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Yet challenges remain in ensuring all people have fair and just access to COVID-19 vaccination. CDC is committed to ongoing work to promote vaccine equity.
