Hold up, you have to state your "race" (whatever that means) when you sign up for the vaccine in the US?


Yeah, presumably that's how they gather these stats on vaccination rates across race/age/gender


It 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?


I 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.
