BOULDER – LGBTQ Advocacy group Out Boulder County, Colorado has completed what may be the nation’s first survey of COVID-19 vaccine reluctance among LGBTQ people.
The survey offers a look into the attitudes of a community that has often gone unseen in public health efforts because information about sexual orientation and gender identity is rarely collected in federal, state or local health data.
For example, there are no questions about sexual orientation or gender identity on the U.S. Census, and the Department of Health and Human Services rarely collects this information in its public health surveys or other data gathering.
