| Summary: | The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively shifted the foundations of human health and the well-being of humanity on a global scale. Its contagiousness and lethal symptoms pose a threat to everyone, especially seniors over 65 years, immunocompromised individuals, and people with preexisting health conditions. The factors of the social determinants of health had great influence on the vaccination status for Black and Brown communities. Access to life-saving treatment and resources was hindered by the poor social determinants and socioeconomic status, which led to slow vaccination numbers. This article examines that equitable vaccination access, distribution, and health literacy in Black and Brown communities are all supported by careful analysis of the notion of dignity. |
