Coronavirus could affect accuracy of the 2020 census — and who gets a vaccine - Business Insider

Scientists across the world are racing to develop a coronavirus vaccine.

That's because US government agencies look at census data to figure out how to allocate resources. If the population of a community is undercounted, it might not get the volume of coronavirus vaccine it needs, said Rob Santos, chief methodologist at the Urban Institute. "If people don't participate, then they're at risk of getting less vaccines than they should have gotten.""An accurate 2020 census does bode well for times when emergency preparedness or first responders need that information," Cook said. "Looking at the health industry and everything that's happening with COVID-19, the official statistics of the United States definitely will be used and come into play.

"One, they have very limited access to information around the census and around most civic engagement issues," Escobedo said. "There are language barriers. And with that comes barriers to access. I think another piece is there is a huge distrust for the government."
