Using data from the PRIME Registry, a clinical data registry that
includes nearly 1,000 primary care practices and five million patients, they find that of the PRIME Registry practices examined, about 40 percent "did not deliver or capture COVID-19 vaccinations."
Hao and coauthors also determine that of the PRIME Registry patients with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine recorded, 18.7 were fully vaccinated, but only about 5 percent were vaccinated in PRIME Registry practices.
They conclude that further engagement with primary care practices to improve
vaccine receipt and vaccine data could help reduce vaccine disparities.
