Peer Review Study
This study used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) data combined with COVID-19 vaccine administrative data to conduct a county-level analysis of vaccination coverage across states (defined as individuals receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine between December 14, 2020, and March 1, 2021). The results demonstrated that vaccination coverage was lower in higher vulnerability states, with coverage significantly lower for individuals with socioeconomic vulnerabilities (such as level of education). The study details vaccination coverage for 49 states and Washington, D.C. (excluding Hawaii). Further research should be conducted on local vaccination status to further elucidate areas of high vulnerability to achieve COVID-19 vaccination equity.

Peer Review Study
This exploratory study investigated the web accessibility of COVID-19 vaccine registration websites in the US and their concordance with the WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 guidelines. AChecker, WAVE, and SortSite web accessibility evaluation tools were used to conduct automated analyses of these websites. The results showed suboptimal compliance with WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 guidelines. These shortcomings in compliance may pose difficulties to users with disabilities as they access information on the websites.
