**Policy, Equity, & Data Analysis*

COVID-19 has caused inequities and exposed long-standing racial disparities among children, youth, and families across the Commonwealth. Data for cases and vaccines as well as feedback from parents during the pandemic point to greater number in cases, lower vaccine rates, and substantial financial, emotional, and housing struggles for Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Asian populations. As vaccine distribution continues and moves to younger age groups, it is important that decision makers understand how to create interventions and provide resources that reach all of Virginia’s children and families. Register here. The event will air on Facebook and Youtube live.
