preventive health care drastically declined at the start of the COVID-19

concerned about going to hospitals and clinics. Claims data showed critical
childhood vaccinations and mammograms dropped by up to 75% and 77%,
respectively, at the height of the pandemic, while colonoscopies were down 88%
in mid-April and remained 33% below baseline in late June.
