Advancing Health Equity: The Role of a Community-Academic-Public Health-Practice (CAPP) Partnership in Addressing COVID-19 Disparities in Louisiana.

We assessed the impact of an innovative Louisiana community-academic-public health-practice (CAPP) partnership in addressing COVID-19-associated Black-White vaccination disparities over 19 months. Initially (April 2021), the cumulative vaccinations for Black versus White Louisianans were 54 542 per 100 000 versus 62 435 per 100 000, respectively. By October 2022, cumulative vaccinations for Black versus White Louisianans were 142 437 per 100 000 versus 132 488 per 100 000, respectively.
