Close to 70% (68.3%) of the adult population in the United States have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
While this progress represents a marked achievement in vaccinations that has led to steep declines in COVID-19 cases and deaths, vaccination coverage—and the protections provided by it—remains uneven across the country. With growing spread of the more transmissible Delta variant, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are once again rising, largely among unvaccinated people.
Persistently lower vaccination rates among Black and Hispanic people compared to their White counterparts across most states leave them at increased risk, particularly as the variant spreads.
Reaching high vaccination rates across individuals and communities will be key for achieving broad protection through a vaccine, mitigating the disproportionate impacts of the virus for people of color, and preventing widening racial health disparities going forward. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has indicated that vaccine equity is an important goal and defined equity as preferential access and administration to those who have been most affected by COVID-19.
The CDC reports demographic characteristics, including race/ethnicity, of people receiving COVID-19 vaccinations at the national level.
As of July 19, 2021, CDC reported that race/ethnicity was known for 58% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (59%), 9% were Black, 16% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native, and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, while 8% reported multiple or other race.
However, CDC data also show that recent vaccinations are reaching larger shares of Hispanic, Asian, and Black populations compared to overall vaccinations. Thirty percent of vaccines administered in the past 14 days have gone to Hispanic people, 6% to Asian people, and 14% to Black people (Figure 1). These recent patterns suggest a narrowing of racial gaps in vaccinations at the national level, particularly for Hispanic and Black people, who account for a larger share of recent vaccinations compared to their share of the total population (30% vs. 17% and 13% vs. 12%, respectively).
While these data provide helpful insights at a national level, to date, CDC is not publicly reporting state-level data on the racial/ethnic composition of people vaccinated.
So Democrats are to blame for not getting the jab?
I wonder why the media hasn’t mentioned this?
No ID, vote. No ID, no vaccine.
How many people are in the US? 300 million?
So around 210,000,000 have received the shot? I’m finding this very hard to believe.
Is this like the stats that came out yesterday saying that 95% of doctors are vaccinated? Hmmmm....95% of those surveyed, in a sample of 300 or so doctors who are in the AMA. One commenter stated that only 15% of the doctors in the country are actually in the AMA. So, who the hell knows what the math is.
And to think, weren’t/aren’t blacks defined as a group that was one of the most susceptible to The ‘Rona? Oh wait....racism. That’s it. That’s the ticket.
Sorry, Liberal Media, Kaiser Poll Shows It’s Not Republicans Who Are COVID Vaccine Resisters!

A lot of attention has been spent on Republicans being the problem, leading to calls for former President Donald Trump to address the group.
A look at the data reveals that the vaccine hesitant group, however, are not big Trump lovers. They’re actually likely not to be Republican. Instead, many of them are people who are detached from the political process and didn’t vote for either major candidate in 2020.
The most recent Kaiser poll helps illustrate that the vaccine hesitant group doesn’t really lean Republican. Just 20% of the group called themselves Republican with an additional 19% being independents who leaned Republican. The clear majority (61%) were not Republicans (41% said they were Democrats or Democratic leaning independents and 20% were either pure independents or undesignated).
There have indeed been reports of this in the media, but it’s been drowned out by the Democrat narrative.
Would be interesting if the Republican party could stop being stuck on stupid and reaching out to black and hispanic voters with a message of personal choice and liberty.
I think it would sell.
It states that nearly 70% of the adult population has received at least one shot. Soon it will be over 70% having had both shots. So what are they panicking about??
More garbage from the Kaiser Roll foundation.
I hope everyone remembers that their stated goal is to remove to white race. If the doomsday scenarios of the “vaccine” come true, they will have done exactly what they said they would.
Go get the jab, cracker.
I’m going to be one of the white folk left, thanks.
They’re looking for the Don’t want to be left out people
There can be no doubt that that's a huge factor.
They say “received” that vaccine, however it is available to all. “Received” should be changed to “requested”, but then in doing so they can’t insert the typical racial inequity undertone of this article
Persistently lower vaccination rates among Black and Hispanic people compared to their White counterparts across most states leave them at increased risk, particularly as the variant spreads.
THIS LATINA knows all they are doing is trying to CULL THE HERD!!
Go Vaccinate the Illegals at the Border! Leave this Law abiding Latina ALONE!!
VACCINES? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN VACCINES!!
Of those who have not been vaccinated, what percentage of them are those who have contracted the virus and already carry the anti-bodies????
The don’t need vaccinations as I understand.
Oh and I thought it was only reprobate Republicans who weren’t getting vaccinated (sarc)?
How does one explain the insanity of the COVID response? My wife asks me a credible question as how do I know better than the world’s health leaders? I don’t have an answer for that, but I’m one of the few who regard COVID 19 as one gigantic over reaction.
The CDC selectively publishes some of the reports it receives to the VAERS database; prior research, along with current pandemic circumstances, indicate that the number below are likely 1% or less of actual cases following Covid 'vaccination.'

It will be a bunch of blacks, some hispanics and a bunch of rural whites left then.
They’ll get some of their green wish then since the suburbanites use a lot of energy and need a lot of stuff which takes energy to produce.
My wife asks me a credible question as how do I know better than the world’s health leaders?”
Once they lie to you, it makes no difference what they know.
