The shortfalls of vulnerability indexes for public health decision-making in the face of emergent crises: the case of COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Virginia

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
Equitable and effective vaccine uptake is a key issue in addressing COVID-19. To achieve this, we must comprehensively characterize the context-specific socio-behavioral and structural determinants of vaccine uptake.
