COVID inoculation rates in U.S. minority communities are lower compared to white communities. Studies show that causes of lower vaccination rates include inaccessibility of vaccination sites, language barriers, deportation fears by undocumented immigrants, the digital divide, misinformation about vaccine effectiveness and safety, lack of trust in government institutions and drug companies, and other factors.
