US County-Level COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake and Rates of Omicron Cases and Deaths

The population-level impact of vaccination on Omicron-related disease is not well described. We fit negative binomial models to estimate the relationship between US county-level vaccine coverage and rates of coronavirus disease 2019. Increased booster dose uptake was associated with lower rates of O...

We fit negative binomial models to estimate the relationship between US county-level vaccine coverage and rates of coronavirus disease 2019. Increased booster dose uptake was associated with lower rates of Omicron cases and deaths and is critical to combat future severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 waves.
