This data note presents federal data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity, federal data on race/ethnicity of booster shot recipients ages 65 and older, state reported data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity, and state-reported data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity among children, where available.

However, to date, limited data are available to examine disparities among booster shot recipients and children. With booster shot eligibility expanded to all individuals ages 16 and older and children ages 5-11 eligible for vaccination, ensuring equity in take-up of booster shots and vaccinations among children also is important. 1 Over the course of the vaccination rollout, Black and Hispanic people have been less likely than their White counterparts to receive a vaccine, but these disparities have narrowed over time, particularly for Hispanic people. As of December 13, 2021, White people accounted for the largest share (63%) of people who are unvaccinated. Amid the continued spread of the Delta variant and growing concerns related to the Omicron variant, unvaccinated people are at increased risk for infection, illness, and death. While this achievement has led to steep declines in COVID-19 cases and deaths, vaccination coverage-and the protections provided by it-remains uneven across the country. As of this week, federal data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 72.1% of the total population in the United States have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
