Abstract

Key Points: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic profoundly impacted transplant services, with a particularly strong impact on living donor kidney transplantation. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have disproportionately impacted Black patients' access to living donor kidney transplantation. As the pandemic evolves through surges and vaccine acceptance disparities persist, ongoing attention to transplant disparities is needed.
