ÌýTo investigate the effect of proof-of-vaccine (POV) mandate bans on weekly, 1st-dose COVID-19 vaccinations at the county level. During the push for COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021, there were many areas across the country with significant portions of the population who were vaccine hesitant and skeptical of public health measures. This sentiment was frequently mirrored by state/local legislators and resulted in several states passing POV mandate bans, which prohibited local through federal government agencies from requiring patrons to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to receive services. While many studies have looked at the effect of vaccine mandates in the US and globally, no research has been conducted on the potential behavioral effects of these state-level POV mandate bans.
