The CDC reports that disabled adults were more likely to endorse the vaccine as protection against COVID, but are more likely to report difficulties in getting vaccinated than did adults without a disability.

Disabled community 'left behind' in vaccine rollout one year later

Disabled people are struggling to access or receive reliable information concerning the vaccine.

In 4 days #CripCamp will be on #Netflix : the documentary starts with footage from 1970s "summer camp for the handicapped run by hippies” in NY and then follows those campers, turn #DisabilityRights advocates through subsequent years. Cudos @JimLeBrecht !

Why Netflix's 'Crip Camp' is a landmark for disability representation on screen

The Netflix documentary, executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, is groundbreaking in its depiction of people with disabilities and their fight for civil rights.

"It's very painful": San Francisco disabled activist Alice Wong said she was "completely thrown" by a new emphasis on age in California's #COVID19 vaccine rollout. Wong, 46, was eligible under previous rules — now she's no longer prioritized for a vaccine.

For the record: I’m a non-native English speaker law professor in a non-elite school. It has never occurred to me to call on a student whose name I may have forgotten by referring to their race or ethnicity (or disability for that matter). Shameful.
