Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths, limitations and further directions: This study is to our knowledge the first to describe how age and belonging to a particular group interact to influence COVID19 vaccine coverage in Israel. Our study has used comprehensive datasets taken from official governmental databases, covering the majority of the population is Israel. Bias and representativeness are therefore unlikely to be issues. We excluded municipalities in which the population was too diverse to assign it to a particular category. This concerns a large proportion of the population, including Jerusalem, Israel’s largest city. There are several limitations to this study. First, the most recent demographic data was from 2018, which leads to a slight underestimation of the denominator and over estimation of vaccine coverage. However the timeframe between 2017 and 2021 is too short to significantly impact on the relative distribution of the population by age or population group, and relative measures are therefore unlikely to be significantly affected. We applied a correction factor based on national growth to try and minimize the effect of an underestimated denominator. However a few cities have undergone extensive growth since 2017. This made the denominator (i.e., population in 2017) smaller than the numerator (i.e., number of people vaccinated) in those cities. Data for these municipalities was uninterpretable and therefore excluded. We also made the assumption that the population groups considered in t...
