(English) Episode 1: Questions About The COVID-19 Vaccines From Latinx Parents - Lo Que Importa: A COVID-19 Latinx Virtual Sobremesa
Can undocumented people get the vaccine? How well do the COVID-19 vaccines work around children? Or with pregnant women? And what can we expect when it comes to vaccinations for next year?
Many are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after a long year like no other. Adults in the United States are quickly becoming eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, with the Biden administration directing states to open up vaccines for everyone 18 years and older by April 19th. But as people prepare to get shots in their arms, some still have questions and doubts. How well do they work, and how are they being distributed throughout the country? Many Latinos, who have been among those hardest hit by COVID-19, have expressed concerns about ensuring access to the vaccine and avoiding the spread of misinformation among loved ones.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that over 100 million people have received at least one dose of a vaccine, and experts project that, at this rate, most people will be at least partially vaccinated by late July. The news is especially a boon to Black, Brown, and immigrant communities, who have had the highest COVID-19 death and infection rates over the past year. Latinos represent 18% of the U.S. population, but they account for almost 30% of COVID-19 cases and 34% of deaths, according to a Salud America! analysis of CDC data.

Advancing Innovation To Eliminate Health Disparities
Digital health innovations have been rapidly implemented and scaled to provide solutions to health delivery challenges posed by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This has provided people with ongoing access to vital health services while minimizing their potential exposure to infection and allowing them to maintain social distancing. However, these solutions may have unintended consequences for health equity in minority communities.
Poverty, lack of access to digital health, poor engagement with digital health for Black and Latinx communities, and barriers to digital health literacy are some factors that can contribute to poor health outcomes. However, there are growing incentives and interest in making digital health interventions part of the solution to reduce health disparities. Now is the time for innovative strategies and bold action that leverage technology to effectively connect vulnerable patients to health information, health promotion, and healthcare services in ways that are scalable and sustainable. Collectively, we have the technology, financial resources, and human capital to make significant improvements in the health of the world’s residents, particularly the most vulnerable among us.

Join The Latino Coalition Against COVID-19 &amp; SaludConTech along with our coalition partners to celebrate past victories and discuss the role of transformative research and examples of health innovation that address health disparities and advance health equity for all.
