COVID-19 Vaccine

People of Color have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the CDC, deaths from COVID-19 among people of color are nearly twice that of whites . Those with unique needs, such as HIV and Sickle Cell Disease, are particularly at risk.

When African Americans were asked which reasons are most motivating to get vaccinated, preventing infection among themselves personally and among friends and family rose to the top, along with preventing the spread so we can return to normal again.
