Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System and the Social Vulnerability Index indicated that counties with high social vulnerability had higher mean chlamydia and gonorrhea case rates than counties with low social vulnerability. Abstract We examined mean chlamydia and gonorrhea case rates from 2014 to 2018 by categorizing US counties by social vulnerability. Overall, these rates were approximately 1.0 to 2.4 times higher in high vulnerability counties than low vulnerability counties. Percentage change in case rates from low to high social vulnerability counties varied by sex, geographic region, and urbanicity.
