COVID-19&rsquo;s devastating impact on people of color was born out of existing structural inequities in our health system. This disproportionate impact underscores the importance and urgency of creating long-lasting change, which must respond directly to the needs of communities. This session will highlight how communities are driving equitable vaccination strategies and policy change, and identify the successes and challenges that still exist for increasing equitable vaccination, and in turn, long-term change.
