Vaccination intentions generate racial disparities in the societal persistence of COVID-19
Abstract We combined survey, mobility, and infections data in greater Boston, MA to simulate the effects of racial disparities in the inclination to become vaccinated on continued infection rates and the attainment of herd immunity. The simulation projected marked inequities, with communities of col...
