The @CDCgov data, published Monday, tracks vaccines administered from Dec. 14 to Jan. 14.
There is no data on race or ethnicity for almost half of the people so far vaccinated, and the report breaks down sex but not gender identity.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
Still, the available numbers are striking, if unsurprising. — Of the people who have received at least one of the two doses required for available vaccines, 63 percent are identified as female, compared with 37 percent who are identified as male.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
The first rounds of COVID-19 vaccinations were targeted toward health care workers and older people who live in long-term care facilities. — About three-fourths of the nation's health care workers are women, as are 65 percent of nursing home residents.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
The available data also suggests racial gaps in who is vaccinated. — About 60 percent of the people who have gotten a vaccine are listed as White. — CDC analysis suggests 60 percent of health care workers, 75 percent of nursing home residents are White.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
Experts note that the current availability of vaccines to people 65 and older in many states — regardless of health status or occupation — will disproportionately benefit White people, who, because of systemic health care disparities, are more likely to live to an older age.
Currently, efforts to expand vaccine access to older Americans means that many frontline workers, who are largely women of color, are at risk of falling to the back of the line.https://bit.ly/3jekbbJ

In a briefing Monday, members of the administration's COVID-19 task force urged states to be diligent in collecting data that tracks race and ethnicity amongst the people who get the vaccine.https://bit.ly/3oBhyld
So far, almost 32 million vaccine doses have been administered, according to Bloomberg News. About 25 million Americans have received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Monday.

I'm not surprised at all! Women take care of shit. Women schedule things. Women prioritize health.
That can be explained in a number of ways. Principal among them is that women have common sense and likely fill the ranks of essential workers.
