Peer Review Study
Using the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey data from January to March 2021, this study analyzes national and state estimates for vaccination intention. The study looks at interactions between race/ethnicity and household income, and race/ethnicity and age group, in its association with vaccination intent. The study found that non-Black Hispanics with lower incomes and younger ages are the least likely to vaccinate against COVID-19.
Promising Practices that show evidence of effectiveness in improving public health outcomes in a specific real-life setting, as indicated by achievement of aims consistent with the objectives of the activities, and are suitable for adaptation by other communities.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article explores how the relationships between vaccine site density, vaccination rates, and social vulnerability are connected across metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas in the U.S. The study uses CDC Social Vulnerability Index data combined with vaccination site density data to examine how vaccination site placement can benefit highly vulnerable populations. The results determined that while areas with higher socioeconomic vulnerability contain a large density of vaccination sites, this does not affect the low vaccination rates found in these communities. Other methods besides vaccination site placement must be considered to overcome these barriers in vaccination rates.
