Abstract. COVID-19 vaccination in Romania. A spatial approach. The study
analyzes the distribution of settlements which benefit of vaccination centers
in Romania and evaluates the influence of the distance as a possible factor
impacting the share of the vaccinated population. There have been identified six
spatial proximity classes (A to F) to the localities that have at least one
vaccination centers; the distribution of the localities in relation to these
proximity classes is analyzed. The assessment shows that most of the settlements
are located in the spatial proximity class of 10 to 20 km, whereas 82% of the localities are positioned in the range of 0 up to 20 km.
Key-Words: COVID-19, vaccination, spatial analysis, network, Romania.
