Clinicians championing flu vaccine equity: what minority-serving clinics in the United States do and need.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Significant disparities in flu vaccination in underserved communities of color persist. To address these disparities, National Minority Quality Forum Center for Sustainable Health Quality and Equity collaborated with over 45 clinical practices throughout the United States to advance quality improvement (QI) programs aimed at increasing equity in vaccination and evaluate progress. Methods: To assess effectiveness of the QI programs, we surveyed participating clinics online in March and April 2024. Separately we gathered data via email from practices to report on vaccination rates. Results: Influenza vaccination rates increased one percent to 45% in 37 responding practices. Sixty percent of practices reported >90% staff vaccination rates. Higher patient vaccination rates were reported in clinics with staff vaccination requirements. Eighty percent of clinics reported vaccine champions. The top three needs cited in getting patients vaccinated were free vaccines for the uninsured, family and caregiver education resources, and staff training on addressing hesitancy. Conclusions: Education and support for clinicians working in these communities increases flu vaccination rates. The Flu DRIVE program had a positive effect on these rates in Black and Hispanic populations. Support for QI programs, immunization-related resources and increasing staff vaccination and hesitancy training could help further improve flu vaccination disparities.
