Ecological study of the association between the English national vaccination programme and area deprivation inequalities in COVID-19 mortality by Clare Bambra, Adam Todd, Fiona Matthews, David Sinclair, Natalie Bennett

“…We estimate that if vaccination rates in the most deprived areas had been the same as those in the least deprived, absolute disparity inequality would have been reduced from 118.9 per 100 000 (95% CI 117.0 to 120.7) to 40.2 (95% CI 3.7 to 76.7) at the end of 2022.Conclusions National COVID-19 vaccination strategies offer the potential to significantly reduce inequalities in COVID-19 mortality rates. …”
