ANAnton Nilsson DDDominik Dietler CBCarl Bonander

Key Points

To assess the impact of COVID-19 vaccination coverage on morbidity and mortality disparities among older people in Sweden.
Analysis of vaccination coverage data across urban and rural regions.
Examination of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates among older adults before and after vaccination.
Comparison of outcomes based on regional differences in vaccine uptake.
Higher vaccination coverage observed in urban areas among older adults.
Vaccination was not a significant factor in reducing regional disparities in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.
Mortality rates remained influenced by other factors beyond vaccination coverage.

Abstract

While higher vaccination coverage, especially in urban areas, could have prevented COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations among older adults in Sweden, the vaccinations were not a major driver of regional disparities in these outcomes.
