Abbreviations: AI/AN = American Indian or Alaska Native; CI = confidence interval; MSA = metropolitan statistical area; NA = not applicable; NHPI = Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander; Ref = referent group; SVI = social vulnerability index.

* At least 1 dose of any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Janssen [Johnson & Johnson]).

Disability was defined as an affirmative response to the following survey question: “Do you have serious difficulty seeing, hearing, walking, remembering, making decisions, or communicating?”

§ Prevalence ratio comparing vaccination rates among persons with a disability with rates among persons without a disability.

Weighted percentage. Respondents missing either vaccination or disability status were excluded (298).

** p<0.05 for prevalence ratio.

†† p<0.05 by t-test for comparisons of proportions with the indicated reference level.

§§ White, Black, AI/AN, Asian, NHPI, and multiple-race persons were non-Hispanic; Hispanic persons could be of any race.

¶¶ Urbanicity derived based on the centroid of the zip code of residence.

*** CDC and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Social Vulnerability Index use 15 U.S. Census variables to help officials identify communities that might need support before, during, or after disasters. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/placeandhealth/svi/index.html

††† Household income is derived from the number of persons reported in the household, the reported household income, and the 2020 U.S. Census poverty thresholds.

§§§ Based on response to the question, “Do you have a health condition that may put you at higher risk for COVID-19?”
