November 30, 20213 yr Polling data isn't real data. Unless it's Biden polling data. Then it's very much real data. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept for people to grasp.
November 30, 20213 yr Are we seriously arguing that Republicans haven't become the anti-vaccine party in 2020/2021?
November 30, 20213 yr I think it's clear that while all of the really stupid people aren't all trumpbots, it's safe to say all trumpbots are really stupid people. No polling needed, this forum provides all the real data one could ever ask for.

I wouldn't call them the "anti-vaccine" party as the majority report being vaccinated. They certainly have more vaccine sceptics than democrats, but that's not surprising given that dems traditionally put a ton of faith into the government whereas Republicans are naturally distrustful of the ever-expanding bureaucracy. They are definitely more inclined to be ani-vaccine mandate, but that's also in line with their inclinations to be more freedom-loving and wanting less big government micromanaging their lives whereas, obviously, democrats support stringent government overreach and see the government as a quasi-parental figure whom they adore and even yearn for more laws, bigger government, etc, etc.

Latest Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity Nambi Ndugga Follow @nambinjn on Twitter , Latoya Hill Follow @hill_latoya on Twitter , Samantha Artiga Follow @SArtiga2 on Twitter , and Sweta HaldarPublished: Nov 17, 2021 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Print As of this week, federal data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 68.4% of the total population in the United States have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. 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. With the continued spread of the more transmissible Delta variant, unvaccinated people remain at increased risk for infection, illness, and death. As of November 15, 2021, White people accounted for the largest share (60%) of people who are unvaccinated.1 Over the course of the vaccination rollout, Black and Hispanic people were less likely than their White counterparts to have received a vaccine, but these disparities have narrowed over time, particularly for Hispanic people. Ensuring equity in vaccinations among children will be important as efforts are implemented to reach 5-11-year-olds, who recently became eligible for vaccination. 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 CDC has indicated that vaccine equity is an important goal, with equity defined as preferential access and administration to those who have been most affected by COVID-19. Federal Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity The CDC reports demographic characteristics, including race/ethnicity, of people receiving COVID-19 vaccinations at the national level. As of November 15, 2021, CDC reported that race/ethnicity was known for 63% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (61%), 11% were Black, 17% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN), and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI), while 5% reported multiple or other race. CDC data also show that the share of recent vaccinations going to the Black population is smaller than their share of total people who have received at least one dose and the total population (7% vs. 11% and 12%, respectively) (Figure 1). The share of recent vaccinations that have gone to Hispanic people (13%) also is smaller than their share of the total population and people who have received at least one dose (both 17%). While these data provide helpful insights at the national level, to date, CDC is not publicly reporting state-level data on the racial/ethnic composition of people vaccinated. CDC also is not reporting race/ethnicity of vaccinated people by age, limiting the ability to gain insight into vaccination patterns among children. State Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity To provide greater insight into who is receiving the vaccine and racial/ethnic disparities in vaccination, KFF is collecting and analyzing state-reported data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity. As of November 15, 2021, 47 states and Washington D.C. were reporting vaccination data by race/ethnicity, including 45 states that reported race/ethnicity of people who received at least one dose of the vaccine.2 Figure 2 shows the percent of the total population who have been vaccinated by race/ethnicity in each of the 45 states that report people who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose by race/ethnicity and the total across 43 of these states. (North Dakota and New Mexico are excluded from the total due to differences in their reporting of data.) It also shows the ratio of vaccination rates for White people compared to those of Black, Hispanic, and Asian people, as well as the percentage point difference between vaccination rates for White people and the rates for the other groups. These data will differ from survey estimates of vaccination rates that are limited to adults. Overall, across these 43 states, as of November 15, 2021, 56% percent of White people had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, which was close to the rate for Hispanic people (54%) but higher than the rate for Black people (49%). White people had a vaccination rate that was higher than the rate for Hispanic people in 26 states, while it was similar or lower in 16 states. White people had a higher rate than Black people in most reporting states, except Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Alabama, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Washington, Louisiana, and West Virginia. The size of these differences varied widely across states, and they have been narrowing over time. The overall vaccination rate across states for Asian people was higher compared to White people (72% vs. 56%), which is consistent with the pattern in most reporting states. However, Asian people had lower vaccination rates than White people in five states (Colorado, North Dakota, Utah, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota). Disparities in vaccination rates have narrowed over time and have nearly closed for Hispanic people. Between November 1 and November 15, Black, Hispanic, and White people experienced similar increases in vaccination rates (Figure 3). Vaccination rates increased by 1.4 percentage points for White people (from 54.9% to 56.3%), by 1.3 percentage points for Black people (from 47.8% to 49.1%), and by 1.2 percentage points for Hispanic people (from 52.6% to 53.8%). Vaccination rates increased by 1.9 percentage points among Asian people, from 70.6% to 72.4%. Over time the differences in vaccination rates between Black and Hispanic people and White people have narrowed, with the gap nearly closed for Hispanic people. Between late April 2021, when eligibility was open to most adults across states, and November 15, 2021, the gap in vaccination rates between White and Black people fell from 14 percentage points (38% vs. 24%) to 7 percentage points (56% vs. 49%), while the difference in White and Hispanic vaccination rates decreased from 13 percentage points (38% vs. 25%) to three percentage points (56% vs. 54%). State Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations for Children by Race/Ethnicity CDC reports that as of November 16, 2021, 4.0% of children under age 12, 57.9% of children ages 12-15, and 64.5% of children ages 16-17 have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose. However, CDC does not currently report race/ethnicity data for vaccinated children. As of November 12, 2021, only eight states reported COVID-19 vaccination data by race/ethnicity for children: Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin (Figure 4). While these states report race/ethnicity of vaccinated children, they vary in their racial/ethnic categorizations and age groupings, making it challenging to compare vaccination rates across states. Only three states (District of Columbia, Michigan, and North Carolina) reported race/ethnicity data separately for children ages 5-11, the group who most recently became eligible for the vaccine. Connecticut has a reporting category for 2-11 year-olds but has not reported data for this age group to date. Only Michigan and North Carolina had sufficient data to report vaccination rates for children ages 5-11 at this time. The data from these eight states have mixed findings regarding vaccinations by race/ethnicity among children. Black children had lower vaccination rates than White children in most but not all of the reporting states. Asian children had the highest vaccination rate in most reporting states. Rates for Hispanic children were generally similar or higher than rates for White children in the reporting states. However, overall, it remains challenging to draw strong conclusions about racial equity in COVID-19 vaccinations among children due to the dearth of comprehensive data, inconsistency in reporting, and the lack of disaggregated data for smaller racial/ethnic groups, particularly NHOPI children. Discussion Growing data point to significantly increased risks of COVID-19 illness and death for people who remain unvaccinated. White people account for the largest share of people who remain unvaccinated. Black and Hispanic people have been less likely than their White counterparts to have received a vaccine, but these disparities have narrowed over time and largely closed for Hispanic people. The increasing equity in vaccination rates likely reflects a combination of efforts focused on increasing vaccination rates among people of color through outreach and education and reducing access and logistical barriers to vaccination, increased interest in getting the vaccine due to spread of the Delta variant, and increases in vaccinations among younger adults and adolescents who include higher shares of people of color compared to other adults. Despite this progress, the ongoing disparities in rates highlight the importance of continued efforts to increase vaccination rates and to address gaps in vaccination both geographically and across racial/ethnic groups. Moreover, it will be important to prevent disparities in uptake of booster shots and among children between ages 5 to 11, the latest group to become eligible for the vaccine. While the data provide useful insights, they also remain subject to gaps, limitations, and inconsistencies that limit the ability to get a complete picture of who is and who is not getting vaccinated. The completeness of race/ethnicity data has improved in most states over time as the shares of vaccinations with unknown or missing race have declined. However, some states still have relatively high shares of vaccinations among people classified with "unknown” race/ethnicity and three states still are not reporting vaccination data by race/ethnicity. Inconsistences in racial/ethnic classifications across states as well as separate reporting of data for federally administered vaccinations, including those provided through the Indian Health Service and federal long-term care partnership program, also limit the ability to interpret the data. In addition, ongoing changes and updates to the data may make it challenging to interpret the data and trend it over time. For example, some states have reported declines in cumulative vaccinations for some racial/ethnic groups over time. These declines reflect a variety of factors, including changes in state reporting methods and recoding of individuals’ racial/ethnic classifications over time. For example, several states have indicated that an individual’s self-reported race/ethnicity may change if he or she records a different classification when receiving a subsequent COVID-19 vaccine dose or another vaccination, such as the flu shot. Lastly, although federal and state data are available for vaccinations by race/ethnicity and age separately, only a handful of states report data in a way that allows for analysis of vaccination rates by race/ethnicity within age groups. Without improved reporting to analyze vaccinations by race/ethnicity and age, it will not be possible to identify disparities in vaccination uptake among children. Similarly, very limited data are available on race/ethnicity of COVID-19 booster shot recipients. Overall, comprehensive standardized data across states are vital to monitor and ensure equitable access to and uptake of the vaccine. Complete data on the distribution of vaccinations by race/ethnicity as well as the percent of the total population that has received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose are available through our COVID-19 State Data and Policy Actions tracker and downloadable through our State Health Facts Online tables. KFF will continue to update these data on a regular basis going forward as vaccination distribution continues. Endnotes
