Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Study limitations include its cross-sectional and observational design, which cannot rule out bias due to confounding. While sampling weights and raking accounted for non-response and undercoverage, the low survey response rate could have led to selection bias. Last, all measures were based on self-report, and could be subject to biases such as related to social desirability of reporting vaccination. Although the levels of vaccine initiation appeared to be higher based on this survey compared to the levels in the CDC analysis, this might be attributed in part to selection bias or social desirability bias and/or the 4 additional days covered in the HPS administration period. In spite of the inherent limitations of this study, its core findings still underscore major inequities in vaccine initiation and/or planned vaccination by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic position, as well as financial hardship during the pandemic. This study further heeds recent calls for more comprehensive race and ethnicity data to identify and respond to racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 vaccination.1,2 In the ensuing months of the pandemic, addressing such racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities in vaccination due to differential access and vaccine hesitancy will be critical to mitigate the pandemic’s disproportionately higher risks for infection and adverse health outcomes in Black non-Hispanics and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups and to help maximize vaccination coverage nationwide.1,5 I...
