Dynamics of social inequalities in severe COVID-19 outcomes in metropolitan France from 2020 to 2022
We find a social gradient related to severe forms of COVID-19 over the five pandemic waves studied, and this gradient increases among persons infected with the disease. Our study highlights the importance of considering social position when managing pandemics and underscores the need for targeted interventions for specific populations to minimize health inequalities.
