Accurate Measures of Vaccination and Concerns of Vaccine Holdouts from Web Search Logs [PDF]

However, existing data in the US are insufficient: reported vaccination rates are often delayed or missing, and surveys of vaccine hesitancy are limited by high-level questions and self-report biases. Here, we show how large-
