Lower-Income Parents Are Having A Harder Time Getting Their Kids Vaxed “Four out of ten lower-income parents say they're not sure how they'll be able to get their kids to Covid vaccine sites.”
Around 45% expressed worries about the cost of the vaccine — which just goes to show how hard it can be to find accurate information about Covid. The vaccine is completely free, though people are often thrown off by being asked to provide health insurance info when they make an appointment. You don’t need insurance get a shot for yourself or your child, and there is zero out of pocket cost for anyone, no matter what.
Around 48% of lower-income parents also said they worried about not being to get their child vaccinated somewhere they already know and trust. Another 38% said they weren’t sure how they could even travel to a vaccine location. By and large, higher-income parents aren’t worrying about either of those things., a group compromised of doctors from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
“Unfortunately, the disparities that have been seen across the pandemic, especially around income, will persist even around vaccine access and younger kids,” John Brownstein, the co-founder of Outbreaks Near Me, told. To counteract that, some experts are pushing local governments to offer the vaccines in schools or offer home visits — anything to make it easier for moms and dads to say yes.
All families deserve equal access when it comes to the vaccine — and making sure every parent who wants a shot for their child can get one without worrying about their job, pay, or expenses should be priority number one.
