We investigate how human mobility, vaccination, and time-varying transmission rates influenced SARS-CoV-2 transmission in five counties in the St. Louis area. A COVID-19 model with a system of ordinary differential equations was developed to illustrate the dynamics with a fully vaccinated class. Using the weekly number of vaccinations, cases, and hospitalization data from five counties in the greater St. Louis area in 2021, parameter estimation for the model was completed. The transmission coefficients for each county changed four times in that year to fit the model and the changing behaviour. We predicted the changes in disease spread under scenarios with increased vaccination coverage. SafeGraph local movement data were used to connect the forces of infection across various counties.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL DYNAMICS}, author={Lacy, Alexanderia and Igoe, Morganne and Das, Praachi and Farthing, Trevor and Lloyd, Alun L. and Lanzas, Cristina and Odoi, Agricola and Lenhart, Suzanne}, year={2023}, month={Dec} }

However, little is known about these differences in the greater St Louis Area of Missouri and yet this information is useful for targeting control efforts.
