QUINTANO-MENDEZ, Felipe  e  RIQUELME-SEGURA, Leonor. Census variables linked to the vaccination process against COVID-19 in Chile. Vaccimonitor [online]. 2023, vol.32  Epub 01-Out-2023. ISSN 1025-0298.

The COVID-19 pandemic generated an unprecedented public health crisis worldwide, which caused the direct or indirect death of about 14.9 million people in a period of two years. In view of this, the development of vaccines to prevent death and serious illnesses and to cut the chain of spread of the virus was established as a global priority. Although the vaccination process has demonstrated the effectiveness of vaccination, there has been reluctance within the population. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the relation of census variables with respect to the frequency of vaccination for the week of May 24, 2021 in Chile. For this purpose, secondary data from the 2017 Census and the Ministry of Health were used and, through a multiple linear regression, it was determined that schooling, residence dwelling and ethnicity are variables that impact the number of people vaccinated per commune. The findings obtained provide relevant information for the generation of public policies.

Palavras-chave : COVID-19; vaccination; census; ethnicity; educational status.
