Disparities in distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across US counties: A geographic information system-based cross-sectional study.

The lower uptake of COVID-19 vaccinations among minority populations and rural areas has been attributed to vaccine hesitancy; however, decreased access to vaccination sites may be an additional overlooked barrier.
