If you're that concerned about getting the "wrong" vaccine, you could just lie about your race when you sign up (of course, that would only deepen the racial divide in vaccination statistics)
- jobigoud 5y agoHold up, you have to state your "race" (whatever that means) when you sign up for the vaccine in the US?
- pseudo0 5y agoIt might depend on how you get the vaccine. I went to a mass vaccination clinic and was never asked to identify my race, but a family doctor presumably has that information on file and might report statistics to local health authorities?
- truffdog 5y agoI did. Almost all government adjacent forms ask you to specify your race. There's even a standard one when you get hired somewhere. There is almost always a 'decline' option, for whatever that is worth.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoYeah, presumably that's how they gather these stats on vaccination rates across race/age/gender
