Race, ethnicity and COVID-19 vaccination: a qualitative study of UK healthcare staff.

Objective: COVID-19-related inequities experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups including healthcare professionals mirror wider health inequities, which risk being perpetuated by lower uptake of vaccination. We aim to better understand lower uptake among racial and ethnic minority staff groups to inform initiatives to enhance uptake.

Design: Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted (October 2020-January 2021) with UK-based healthcare staff.
