Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination rates in countries with different income levels: a panel analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are being developed and supplied at an unprecedented rate. However, disparities in income levels among countries has influenced the supply and vaccination rate. This imbalance poses a potential risk factor, especially if vaccine-resistant variants emerge and the pandemic persists. To effectively combat a global pandemic such as COVID-19, understanding the key factors that influence vaccination rates worldwide is essential. This study utilizes cross-country panel regression to examine the factors associated with vaccination rates in countries at different income levels.

Methods

We analyzed weekly vaccination rates in relation to several COVID-related variables, including government suppression policies, vaccination
