Abstract

To assess trends in and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination coverage, data from the Household Pulse Survey were analyzed. From April to August 2021, vaccination coverage with at least 1 dose increased from 70%-82%, while vaccination intent increased from 82%-86%, with the highest increase among the most vulnerable groups. More efforts are needed to boost confidence in vaccines and to encourage all eligible people to be fully vaccinated.

Keywords: COVID-19 vaccine; Disparities; Trends; Vaccine confidence; Vaccine hesitancy.
