Q&A: Connecting and Collecting COVID-19 Data on Race and Social Determinants of Health

Health disparities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have been misattributed to different minority groups due to outdated and insufficient data collection on race, ethnicity, and the social determinants of health. Data policies must be updated to support burgeoning relationships with community organizations that serve these groups and improve societal wellbeing.

Pandemic Data Outlook

The State of State-Level Breakthrough Case Reporting

COVID-19 breakthrough case data is essential for tracking the virus and monitoring vaccine efficacy. Only 35 states report this data and only a portion of them report the data in a useful format. We need clear, consistent reporting of this data across all 50 states.
