Peer Review Study
The objective of this study was to explore the willingness to accept a COVID-19 vaccine in the United States and describe variability in this acceptability by key racial, ethnic, and socio-demographic characteristics. Participants were asked how willing or unwilling they would be to: (1) receive a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it was made publicly available, and (2) receive the influenza vaccine for the upcoming influenza season. The conclusion of the study was that a substantial proportion of U.S. residents were unwilling to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as one is made publicly available.

Peer Review Study
This study aimed to apply rapid online surveying to determine knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19 among the general public in the United States and the United Kingdom. The findings from this online survey could guide information campaigns by public health authorities, clinicians, and the media. More broadly, rapid online surveys could be an important tool in tracking the public’s knowledge and misperceptions during rapidly moving infectious disease outbreaks.

Peer Review Study
The authors assessed intent to be vaccinated and concerns among members of seven U.S. racial and ethnic groups (1,000 Black, 500 American Indian/Alaska Native, 1,000 Asian, 1,000 Latino [500 English-speaking and 500 Spanish-speaking], 500 Pacific Islander, 500 multiracial, and 1,000 White adults) in the COVID-19′s Unequal Racial Burden (CURB) survey conducted December 2020-February 2021.

Peer Review Study
The objectives of the study were to describe patterns of COVID-19 testing among LGBTQ+ people and to differentiate rates of COVID-19 testing and test results by sociodemographic characteristics. Participants completed an internet-based survey from May through July 2020 that assessed COVID-19 testing and test results and sociodemographic characteristics. Data were analyzed on receipt and results of PCR and antibody testing for COVID-19 in relation to sociodemographic characteristics. The study confirms the need to create COVID-19 public health messaging and programming that attend to LGBTQ+ populations.

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.

White Paper/Brief
The brief summarizes state-level strategies to increase equity in vaccination rates using four primary approaches. The second approach addresses using race and ethnicity data to allocate COVID-19 vaccines according to need. Four strategies are explained under this approach.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article discusses the Medical Adaptations series and reveals several lessons. It offers recommendations on providing and utilizing information technology for online learning to mitigate some inequities borne by socioeconomic and generational differences, English as a second-language learners, and those with disabilities who do not have access to adaptive technology.

Peer Review Study
This study used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) data combined with COVID-19 vaccine administrative data to conduct a county-level analysis of vaccination coverage across states (defined as individuals receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine between December 14, 2020, and March 1, 2021). The results demonstrated that vaccination coverage was lower in higher vulnerability states, with coverage significantly lower for individuals with socioeconomic vulnerabilities (such as level of education). The study details vaccination coverage for 49 states and Washington, D.C. (excluding Hawaii). Further research should be conducted on local vaccination status to further elucidate areas of high vulnerability to achieve COVID-19 vaccination equity.

Peer Review Study
The study examines the gap in accessibility to digital fitness resources, and re-frames the notion of accessibility to suit the contemporary context. The authors suggest the construction of a comprehensive, indexed digital library of home-based physical activity video content, tailored to various disabilities and skill levels, and committed to contemporary notions of accessibility. Current resources are hard to find and not always free.
