VEXED by the VAX by Matthew Winter

EXPLORING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN COVID-19 VACCINE ACCEPTANCE AND SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS IN THE UNITED STATES

The COVID-19 vaccine has been widely available and free to the public in the US since the end of 2020. Some socio-demographic groups exhibit higher percentages of vaccine acceptance while others exhibit lower percentages. Instead of relying on speculation and assumption to explain vaccine acceptance in the US, I wonder what the data can tell us? Using publicly available goverment agency data collected at the US county level, "VEXED by the VAX" analyzes the correlation between several racial, political, gender, monetary, educational, age, and social factors, and the percentage of COVID-19 vaccine series completion in US counties.
