That data isn’t about flu. Got anything specific about flu vaccination rates in urban vs. rural areas? The HPV vaccine in particularly is an issue in the culture wars.
That said you’re likely correct. I found this from cdc, with rates by state. At a glance, rural states have lower rates: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/coverage-1819estimates.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/coverage-1819estimates.ht...
However, this gap could also be due to health system efficacy in general. So unclear if we might expect worse covid results in places with fewer/worse hospitals.
