Great to have this collaboration with @geoyanjia @HuanfaC to explore the vaccine access in 54 countries in the world. Vaccine desert exists in both high and low income countries.
There were significant global disparities in COVID-19 vaccination accessibility, finds research by @UrbanBigData, @ucl, @HKUniversity & @kh_univ.
The first of its kind research identified 'vaccine deserts' in high and low income countries.

I've updated my GitHub.io website! Although it took months (like many open-source projects), it is worthy as it features higher security and much better UI for blogs (compared to the previous one). Check it out: huanfachen.github.io.
Credits go to github.com/academicpages/aca…, and many thanks to people who raised and replied to Github issues on this repo.
This is amazing
