Key Findings

• Vaccine confidence has improved among Black Americans, but mistrust plays a role in holding down vaccination rates.
• The authors found that vaccine-related mistrust is a multifaceted construct that includes distrust of health care and health care providers (to be equitable), the government (to provide truthful information), and the vaccine itself (to be safe and effective).
• The national discussion of confidence issues has masked access problems.
• Access issues include distance to vaccine site or insufficient vaccination sites in one's community; lack of transportation to available vaccination sites; lack of high-speed internet access and/or internet literacy or lack of English literacy required to locate and schedule appointments; and work- and child care–related issues as well as other scheduling challenges.
