Key Points

Assess the causal effects of vaccination coverage, booster uptake, mask mandates, and public mobility on COVID-19 case and death growth rates across US states amidst variant proliferation.
Conducted retrospective analyses using four correlated random effects models on a panel dataset of 16,700 records across all 50 US states.
Evaluated overall COVID-19 case and death growth rates between January 2021 and November 2021 in Models 1 and 3.
Analyzed the specific impacts of Delta variant emergence and booster vaccinations between August 2021 and November 2021 in Models 2 and 4.
Face mask mandates (p < 0.01) and lower workplace mobility (p < 0.05) significantly lowered COVID-19 case growth rates.
COVID-19 vaccination uptake significantly reduced COVID-19 death growth rates (p < 0.01).
Delta variant proliferation significantly accelerated case growth rates (p < 0.001), whereas the Epsilon variant was associated with reduced case growth rates (p < 0.01).
