Vaccination uptake and income inequalities within a mass vaccination campaign

Abstract: Background In July 2013, Israel was swept with fear of a polio outbreak. In response to the importation of wild polio virus, the Ministry decided to take preventive action by administering oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) to all children born after 1 January 2004 who had received at least one dose of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in the past. This study analyzes the vaccination uptake rates resulting from the mass polio vaccination campaign on the basis of health ine… Show more

“…In Israel, low vaccination uptake is frequently found among minority populations (Rosen et al 2021 ). Existing research among Arab HCP vaccine uptake in Israel found low uptake of the influenza vaccine (Dubnov et al 2010 ), in contrast to research among non-HCP Arab populations in Israel who generally get vaccinated in high numbers (Tur-Sinai et al 2019 ). As a result, future investigation into intervention hesitancy among HCP, specifically in an Israel context, should be sensitive of the potential influence of ethnicity.…”

“…There are currently 34 DSEIs defined according to the geographical occupation of indigenous communities, which does not follow the political State division [9]. Finally, considering it plausible that the cities with more vaccination needs are also the ones with greater socioeconomic inequality [10,11], we compared the Gini coefficient between prioritized and non-prioritized municipalities. The Gini coefficient measures inequality in the income distribution on a scale from zero to one [12,13].…”
