Social and economic inequality in coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination coverage across Illinois counties

Abstract Prior research has well established the association of ethno-racial and economic inequality with COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates across counties in the US. In this ecological study, a similar association was found between ethno-racial and economic inequality and COVID-19 full vaccina...
