Peer Review Study, Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
The authors conducted a systematic review to understand disparities in H1N1 vaccine uptake by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, rural/urban residence, population density, and disability status, and factors associated with unequal uptake, as well as the benefits and harms of interventions designed to attenuate inequities in H1N1 vaccine uptake—in an effort to address potential disparities in COVID-19 vaccine access and uptake.

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
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
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.

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
This exploratory study investigated the web accessibility of COVID-19 vaccine registration websites in the US and their concordance with the WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 guidelines. AChecker, WAVE, and SortSite web accessibility evaluation tools were used to conduct automated analyses of these websites. The results showed suboptimal compliance with WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 guidelines. These shortcomings in compliance may pose difficulties to users with disabilities as they access information on the websites.
