                        Get the first vaccine you're offered: that's the public health message. Each COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe disease, but some Americans want to choose the vaccine they get.

                        At least a dozen states have now seen an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations. Epidemiologists explain what they think is behind the potential fourth surge of the pandemic in the U.S.

                        Researchers have quantified the price paid for fast-spreading COVID-19 infections. Patients who might have survived otherwise perished in crowded ICUs.

                        The pandemic is hitting some families harder than others. In Arizona, one family lost three members to COVID-19.

                        Seattle is trying to ensure equitable access to vaccines by setting up clinics in communities of color. Nationwide, not all jurisdictions even track racial and ethnic data about vaccine distribution.

                        Glitchy websites, jammed phone lines and long lines outside clinics are complicating the vaccine rollout. And older Americans and those without caregivers and computer skills are at a disadvantage.
