    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    Our findings have limitations. The SES is calculated differently in each country, though the national ICBS classification correlative with metabolic disease13 making our findings generalizable. Also, in this study it is used as an ecological variable and is not indicative of individual health, yet this is a more appropriate representation of its implication on municipal vaccination. We did not have available data regarding active disease burden of population over 60, or the disease severity of active cases within municipalities. As data were aggregated we did not have available personal data regarding COVID-19 risk factors, though older age is the most important risk factor for severe COVID-1914. Finally, we were not able to remove the population aged over 60 who recovered or died from COVID-19 from the vaccination potential population in each municipality, though Israel has suffered from approximately 4,000 COVID-19 related deaths only, with approximately 5% of the population recovered from the disease hence this does not affect our findings. These data are an interim analysis based on the rates of the first dose of vaccination, and data of 2nd vaccination shot compliance are not yet available. The analysis time point, conducted 3 weeks following the initiation of vaccinations in Israel, aims at evaluating vaccination rollout and distribution as well as compliance and does not intend to evaluate vaccination efficacy in mitigating the pandemic. Moreover, as the mRNA vaccine l...

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
