A method for prioritizing risk groups for early SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination, By the Numbers

Abstract: BackgroundGiven the limited supply of two COVID-19 vaccines, it will be important to choose which risk groups to prioritize for vaccination in order to get the most health benefits from that supply.MethodIn order to help decide how to get the maximum health yield from this limited supply, we implemented a logistic regression model to predict COVID-19 death risk by age, race, and sex and did the same to predict COVID-19 case risk.ResultsOur predictive model ranked all demographic groups by COVID-19 death risk. … Show more

“…Moreover, many criticisms were raised about the vaccine administration practice. A huge deal of misinformation, even regarding vaccine dosage, practice and temperature, might worse the delay with which people should be vaccinated 39 . The hasty expectation to see brilliant outcomes following vaccination crushes against the paroxysmal crowd of objections.…”

“…Most subsequent research into optimal vaccination strategies also primarily considered the fundamental vaccine prioritization trade-off concerning age (Bubar et al, 2021; Matrajt et al, 2021b,a; Foy et al, 2021). Some studies accounted for occupation as well as known COVID-19 risk factors, in addition to age (Islam et al, 2021; März et al, 2022), but to our knowledge, only one study incorporates ethnicity, as a predictor in a simple logistic regression model (McDonald et al, 2020).…”
