[Luqman] We would like to express our gratitude to the authors and researchers whose works have significantly contributed to our understanding and analysis in this project. Specifically, we acknowledge the insightful findings of Govind Persad, Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Sangeeta Sangenito, Andrea Glickman, Simon Phillips, and Emily A. Largent for their comprehensive study on public perspectives regarding COVID-19 vaccine prioritization, as detailed in their publication in JAMA Network Open. Their work provided critical insights into the preferences of different demographic groups, which were instrumental in shaping our analysis of health disparities.
Additionally, we extend our thanks to Jagdish Khubchandani and Yilda Macias for their exhaustive review of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy among Hispanics and African-Americans, published in Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health. Their research into the sociodemographic and cognitive correlates of vaccine hesitancy has been invaluable in understanding the complex factors that influence health behaviors in minority communities.

[Fouad] The COVID Tracking Project by The Atlantic was a great resource that provided me with great inspiration for conducting such a project. Another article, Latest Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity, by Nambi Ndugga, Latoya Hill, Samantha Artiga, and Sweta Haldarwas a great resource that allowed me to understand the importance of structuring data in a specific way to communicate it in an effective manner.
[Andrew] I would to acknowledge the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for conducting thorough nationwide surveys, providing extensive and reliable data regarding the demographics of COVID-19 mortalities and vaccinations. Furthermore, I would like to extend acknowledgements to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for aggregating these data sets into one place, allowing convenient accessibility to these resources for the public. From these data sets provided by the NCHS and the CDC, we were able to utilize Python on the Jupyter Notebook platform to clean and plot the datasets, only including data points with known ethnicities.
[Faris] In addition to the National Center for Health Statistics and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, I am grateful for the valuable studies conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The study on underrepresentation of Native American and Pacific Islander populations in COVID-19 data helped provide an additional layer of discrimination to uncover, which, in turn, suggests the potential for finding even more nuanced harms in the US and global healthcare system.
