Black and Latino youth may be less likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine than White youth. In this study we will work with community members to come up with ways to help Black and Latino families learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and get the COVID-19 vaccine. We will test these ideas out in pediatric primary care clinics. This study will help us make sure that all youth have an equal chance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is a multi-component intervention to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake among youth that was co-created with community partners and refined with qualitative feedback from Black and Latino youth and parents. The intervention consists of culturally-tailored educational materials to increase awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine, culturally-sensitive communication strategies employed by pediatric primary care providers and community health workers, and strategies to facilitate and standardize access to the COVID-19 vaccine in the primary care clinic.
Standard care includes routine offer of the COVID-19 vaccine and counseling about the COVID-19 vaccine by pediatric primary care providers.
