Vaccine Equity Bright Spot Briefing
Increasing Access and Readiness in Latinx Communities

Tuesday, May 18th, 2021
1:00-2:00pm ET / 10:00-11:00am PT

Latinx communities across the U.S. continue to be underrepresented among those vaccinated for COVID-19. As of May 3, 2021, the CDC reported that while race/ethnicity was known for just over half (55%) of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (63%), while 13% were Latinx/Hispanic. 

In addition to the systemic and structural barriers generally faced by communities of color, vaccine access and readiness continues to be a challenge in many Latinx communities, even as the vaccine becomes more widely available. This webinar will present: 

  • The latest Kaiser Family Foundation COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor data, with a focus on vaccination rates and barriers among Latinx communities against national trends;

  • Common COVID-19 vaccination concerns and access challenges among Latinx populations; 

  • Successful approaches to increasing vaccine access and readiness in Latinx communities by enabling and supporting local promotoras.
