Table 3.
Count of MSOAs per region that scored in the highest 20% of areas for COVID-19 vulnerability (SEVI), vaccine hesitancy (VHI) or both. Quintile 5 is the most vulnerable/extreme quintile.
| Region | Number of MSOAs in region | Number (% in region) of MSOAs in quintile 5 of SEVI | Number (%) of MSOAs in quintile 5 of VHI | Number (and %) of MSOAs in quintile 5 of both SEVI and VHI |
