AB - BACKGROUND: Vaccination is a critical tool for controlling infectious diseases, with its use to protect against COVID-19 being a prime example. Where a disease is highly transmissible, even a small proportion of unprotected individuals can have substantial implications for disease burden and control. As factors such as deprivation and ethnicity have been shown to influence uptake rates, identifying how uptake varies with socio-demographic indicators is critical for reducing hesitancy and issues of access and identifying plausible future uptake patterns.
