Racial/Ethnic Disparities in State-Level COVID-19 Vaccination Rates and Their Association With Structural Racism

In this paper, the authors explore the relationships between structural racism and the Black-White disparity and Hispanic-White disparity in COVID-19 vaccination rates across 45 U.S. states. The authors use racially stratified vaccination data to conduct a detailed exploration of vaccination disparities within the United States for both the non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations compared to the non-Hispanic White population.
