Data Shows Higher Rates of Vaccination for Hispanic/Latinx Population
The County of Santa Clara recently determined that data on the race/ethnicity of most Latinos who received the COVID-19 vaccine from Kaiser Permanente was automatically being replaced with “other” or “non-Hispanic” when transferred into the California Immunization Registry (CAIR). Working in partnership with Kaiser, the County has corrected the race/ethnicity information for these Kaiser patients in the County’s vaccine dashboards, resulting in more than 22,000 additional Hispanic/Latino community members who have received at least one dose on the County’s Vaccination Dashboard as of today.
