    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:
    An additional limitation in our study is that vaccine coverage data was based on LTCF and age, since data for those receiving home care was not available whereas incidence of infections and deaths were calculated for the combined group (LTCF/home care). Some of the reduction observed in the LTCF/home care group is likely due to indirect effects of vaccination of healthcare workers. Reductions in observed vs. expected infections in the 80+ group started before vaccination indicating that the assumptions about symmetrical infection incidence ratio during the second and third wave might not be fully accurate. The overall trend, however, following initiation of vaccination is highly encouraging. In conclusion, the programmatic early effects of vaccination in two of the most vulnerable groups are both reduced SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths.

    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.
