Black people below expected COVID-19 vaccination levels

Data from a number of states and a few cities show fewer Black people receiving the vaccine than those who are eligible to receive it.

Data collected through January 25. Some people vaccinated do not report race or ethnicity, those were left uncounted. States vary in whether they include or exclude Hispanic individuals in racial categories. We handle the racial categories in the comparison data in the same way within the state for consistency. Data reported from each state are those who have received at least one vaccine dose.
