ABC ADVOCATES FOR VACCINATIONS IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR _Black Americans are dying from COVID-19 at higher rates than others — __but they are also getting vaccinated at lower rates_ Washington, DC – Our nation has reached a grim milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic: over 400,000 Americans have died from complications of the coronavirus. Black Americans are 3.7 times as likely as white Americans to be hospitalized with COVID-19 and 2.8 times as likely todie.
Blacks and people of color are not inherently more susceptible to COVID-19 illness and mortality, however, existing structural racism contributes to the health disparities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, social determinants of health place many people of color at heightened risk for poor COVID-19 outcomes, including disparities in healthcare coverage and access; disproportionate representation in “essential” jobs that often carry greater virus-exposure risk; crowded housing conditions; and disparities in income, education andwealth.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) INFORMATION & RESOURCE HUB The coronavirus infection represents a global pandemic, that by definition, affects all populations. However, history has taught us that a differential impact often exists and is tightly linked to socio-demographic factors. There are a lot of questions about COVID-19, and the impact is evolving every day. Therefore, it is essential that we remain educated about ongoing events. Stay informed with the latest science and clinical aspects of the coronavirus infection, and find helpful resources including frequentlyasked questions
