Fair and diverse allocation of scarce resources

Equitable and effective vaccine access considering vaccine hesitancy and capacity constraints

“…Anahideh et al. [53] develop a mathematical model that aims to achieve a vaccine allocation strategy that is fair both geographically and also based on people’s demographic or socioeconomic backgrounds. Fadaki et al.…”

Sequential allocation of vaccine to control an infectious disease

“…Fairness is often an important concern when allocating scarce medical resources such as vaccines [11] , [18] , [19] , [20] . Our optimization problems (OPT1) – (OPT2) can be extended to include an equity constraint: where is the minimum fraction of the population in group that must be vaccinated in time period .…”

An integrated chance constraints approach for optimal vaccination strategies under uncertainty for COVID-19

“…The above-listed works perform experiments under a wide range of scenarios in which a single parameter is varied. Other work investigate the vulnerability of variation among population subgroups and aim to find a decent balance between diversity and fairness measures [20] . However, the essential and conclusive epidemiological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine efficacy, vaccine-induced, and natural immunity remains under study, and their variations coexist [21] .…”
