SARS-COV-2 Vaccines: What Indicators are Associated with the Worldwide Distribution of the First Doses

The present study aimed to identify the factors associated with the distribution of the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. In this study, we used 9 variables: human development index (HDI), gross domestic product (GDP per capita), Gini index, population density, extreme poverty, life expectancy, C...
