Abstract
With over 46.7 million immigrants currently living in the US, of which 11 million are undocumented [[6]], a socioeconomic perspective of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic within the US immigrant community is necessary. Déjà vu: Comparing COVID-19 to H1N1 The COVID-19 pandemic is certainly not the first pandemic to reveal underlying health disparities. Most recently, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic provided opportunity to understand health inequalities in vulnerable US populations that parallel those emerging in the current COVID-19 pandemic (Fig 2). In addition to clinical outcome inequalities, the H1N1 pandemic exemplified the disparities in pandemic preparedness, response, and recovery for disadvantaged populations, including immigrant communities [[21]].
