Widening of inequalities in COVID-19 years of life lost from 2020 to 2021: a Scottish Burden of Disease Study

Conclusion
Despite a highly impactful vaccination programme in preventing mortality, COVID-19 continues to represent a substantial area of fatal population health loss for which inequalities have widened. Tackling systemic inequalities with effective interventions is required to mitigate further unjust health loss in the Scottish population from COVID-19 and other causes of ill-health and mortality.
