Spatial clustering in vaccination hesitancy: The role of social influence and social selectionAuthor summary In recent decades, vaccination hesitancy behavior has gained ground, threatening the maintenance of herd immunity. Geographic clustering of vaccine hesitancy creates pockets of unprotected sub-populations that can become hotspots for outbreak emergence. Even though the complex phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy has been well-studied by the scientific community, the mechanisms driving geographic clustering in this behavior are poorly understood. In this study, we consider two hypothesized mechanisms that may lead to geographic clusters of high hesitancy: (a) we hypothesize that clusters of high hesitancy arise because hesitancy is associated with underlying socio-economic traits (e.g. high income) that are themselves geographically clustered; or (b) we hypothesize that clusters of high hesitancy arise because hesitant individually social diffuse the behavior among their social network which tends to be geographically clustered. We use computational experiments to test the impact of these mechanisms on the geographical distribution of hesitancy behavior. We find that both processes are independently capable of generating geographical clusters of high hesitancy, and propose and evaluate the effectiveness of two novel intervention strategies to slow the rise in hesitancy and diminish the increased risk of outbreak emergence due to geographic clustering.
