“…The CO model was developed from the perspective of local health authorities in Brazil. Brazil was chosen as the base case country as it was one of the most highly impacted countries in terms of COVID-19 incidence, resulting in healthcare budget restrictions on vaccination programs [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. However, the model can be easily adapted to any country to guide optimal booster dose allocation within local budgetary constraints.…”

These circumstances, aligned with socio-economic factors (e.g., high population density in urban centers and ‘favelas’; economic pressure to come back to business to avoid massive unemployment and starvation), lead to a precarious situation to cope with the pandemic [15] .…”
