Abstract

We quantify the impact of county-level vaccination rates on vaccine uptake. While the marginal effect at current vaccination rates is modest, the overall impact is large. Moving from a 0% to 15% vaccination rate in a county is associated with an increase in the daily uptake of over 10 fold. Our results shed light on the rise and decline of vaccine hesitancy and imply an externality of vaccination programs. For Ohio's Vax-A-Million lottery, a back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that there were an additional 30,000 vaccinations immediately following the lottery as a result of the increased vaccinations from the lottery.

COVID 疫苗接种与社会规范

我们量化了县级疫苗接种率对疫苗接种率的影响。虽然当前接种率的边际效应不大，但总体影响却很大。一个县的疫苗接种率从 0% 提高到 15%，每天的疫苗接种率就会提高 10 倍以上。我们的研究结果揭示了疫苗接种犹豫的上升和下降，并暗示了疫苗接种计划的外部性。通过对俄亥俄州的 "疫苗百万彩票 "进行反向计算发现，由于彩票增加了疫苗接种量，彩票结束后立即增加了 3 万次疫苗接种。
