摘要：

Israel is ranked as the leading country in terms of prevalence of vaccination against SARS-COV-2 virus (persons vaccinated divided by total population). Based on updated data as of January 19, 2021, the objective of the current study is to assess the relationship between the prevalence of vaccination and population density. A-priori, given the better infrastructure of health services (more physicians and nurses per 1000 persons), one would anticipate a higher level of vaccination in denser cities. Surprisingly, the outcomes demonstrate an opposite relationship: a lower level in the per capita level of vaccination with higher population densities from 0.2144 for 2 persons per sq. Km. to a minimum of 0.007191 for 16,642 persons per sq. Km. Given the relatively good accessibility to vaccination centers and high spread of clinics and health centers in Israel, research findings thus stress the major importance of promoting the benefits of vaccination (vaccination literacy) to diversified populations.
