RAND Corporation collected, analyzed, and co-interpreted with other Rockefeller Foundation Equity-First Vaccination Initiative (EVI) partners both quantitative and qualitative data throughout the initiative to promote equity in the COVID-19 response through vaccination. As detailed in RAND's final report on the EVI, there is clear evidence that the EVI reached its target population, with more than 90 percent of the nearly 65,000 vaccinations delivered through the EVI going to Black or Latinx individuals, or people identifying with two or more races.
