Black and other ethnic minorities are much less willing to be vaccinated than whites.\
\
\"In a nationally representative UK survey of 12 035 people conducted during November and December, 2020, 71·8% of Black and 42·3% of Pakistani and Bangladeshi respondents were "unlikely or very unlikely" to take the COVID-19 vaccine.1 Available data from 43 US states up to April, 2021, show that COVID-19 vaccination rates in White people were almost twice as high as rates in Hispanic and Black people,2 despite a higher proportion of White Republicans being unsure or unwilling when asked about taking a COVID-19 vaccine.\"\
