COVID-19 vaccine uptake in a predominantly minoritized cohort hospitalized during the early pandemic in New York City.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minoritized communities in the United States have had higher COVID-19 mortality and lower vaccine uptake. The influence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, initial disease severity, and persistent symptoms on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Black and Latinx communities has not been examined.

Objective

To investigate whether initial COVID-19 severity, persistent symptoms, and other correlates affected vaccine uptake in a predominantly minoritized cohort hospitalized for COVID-19 during the early pandemic in New York City.

Design

In this historical cohort study, we abstracted electronic health record data on demographics, comorbidities, hospital oxygen requirements, symptoms at 3 and 6 months post-admission, COVID-19 vaccinations through November 2022, and influenza
