Özet
This study analyses the relation between people fully vaccinated and mortality to assess the effectiveness
of this health policy to cope with COVID-19 pandemic between a sample of 150 countries. Statistical analyses
show a positive correlation between share of people fully vaccinated and total COVID-19 mortality in early 2022
(r= 0.65, p-value <.01). These results suggest that COVID-19 vaccinations cannot be a sufficient policy
response to eradicate the overall negative impact of the new infectious disease in society. Although high levels
of vaccinations in some countries, many demographic (density of population), environmental (air pollution),
technological (equipment of non-invasive ventilators), biological (new variants), socioeconomic (health
expenditures) factors, etc., influence the diffusion and negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic society. This
study can provide new knowledge to improve crisis management and the preparedness of countries to cope
with or prevent future pandemic crisis and negative effects in socioeconomic systems.
