COVID-19 vaccination rates and neighbourhoods: evidence from Sweden
利用瑞典全人口地理编码微观数据,研究社区特征(如种族、教育、收入边缘化程度)如何影响个人接种第一剂及完成三剂COVID-19疫苗的概率,发现居住在边缘化居民比例高的社区会降低接种可能性,且对边缘化群体自身影响更大。
This paper investigates neighbourhood characteristics related to an individual’s likelihood of getting the first COVID-19 vaccination and implementing official recommendations for the three-shot vaccination regime. We use full population-geocoded microdata for Sweden to measure important individual-level attributes and the marginalisation of their residential communities in terms of ethnicity, education and income. The findings show that the likelihood of getting vaccinated and obtaining all three recommended vaccine doses decrease for individuals residing in neighbourhoods with larger shares of marginalised residents. The effects also appear to be more pronounced if the individual themself belongs to a marginalised group.
