Real-time geospatial analysis identifies gaps in COVID-19 vaccination in a minority population

Abstract COVID-19 vaccination is being rapidly rolled out in the US and many other countries, and it is crucial to provide fast and accurate assessment of vaccination coverage and vaccination gaps to make strategic adjustments promoting vaccine coverage. We reported the effective use of real-time ge...
