This article explores how COVID19 impacted the state of San Luis Potosí from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 through 2022, analyzing key factors such as case distribution, affected population characteristics, and how social and economic conditions influenced virus spread. A major highlight is how the pandemic worsened health inequalities: groups with higher poverty levels and individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension faced greater risks of infection and complications. Additionally, important differences in the effectiveness of various vaccines administered in the state were identified, with some offering more protection than others. With these data, the study underscores the importance of considering local particularities when making public health decisions, especially in implementing prevention strategies, distributing resources, and prioritizing interventions to protect the most vulnerable groups.
