COVID Community Vulnerability Map Helps Allocate Resources
EHS Today reports on Jvion’s new COVID Community Vulnerability Map that identifies populations down to the census block level that are at risk for severe outcomes upon contracting a virus like COVID. “Using such a large dataset minimizes the risk of bias.
