Few states are accurately tracking coronavirus vaccinations by race. Some aren’t at all. Lola Fadulu, Dan Keating © Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post A line of people waited outside the Model Cities Senior Wellness Center in D.C. to get a coronavirus vaccination on Tuesday. Most states are not publicly reporting racial data on people receiving coronavirus vaccines, despite disproportionate covid-19 death rates for Black and Hispanic people and rising concerns about who has access to and is willing to take the vaccine. Seven weeks after the first shots were administered, just 20 states include race and ethnicity data on their vaccine dashboards, even though it is required by the federal government. And even those states have major gaps in their data, with “unknown” being the first- or second-most frequent category in almost every state.
