Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed over 323 million vaccine records to identify demographic factors related to delaying or missing the second dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) in 2021.
- Findings showed that 87.3% received their second dose on time, while 3.4% had delays, and 9.4% missed it altogether.
- Groups at higher risk for delays or missed doses included racial/ethnic minorities, young adults (ages 18-39), individuals in socially vulnerable regions, and those outside the northeastern U.S., highlighting the need for targeted outreach to these populations.
