Black Americans Are More Skeptical of a Coronavirus Vaccine

From a newly released KFF/The Undefeated national survey on race and health, Drew Altman discusses how systemic racism has led to striking levels of reluctance to get a COVID-19 vaccine among Black Americans, including those at highest risk, and the challenge it presents for ending the pandemic. “A vaccine distribution effort that is not coupled with a credible outreach effort in communities of color is likely to fall far short of reaching many of the people who are most at risk,” he writes in an Axios column.

Also available are the full analytical report based on the survey and The Undefeated’s reporting building on the findings.
