“…The social welfare II scheme was previously proposed to illustrate the multiple solutions that the social welfare approach has (Munguía-López et al 2019 ). We include this formulation as shown in the following.…”

“…This formulation identifies unique solutions and captures stakeholder scales. Furthermore, a scheme to illustrate the multiple allocations that can be obtained by the social welfare approach was recently proposed (Munguía-López et al 2019 ). This scheme is denoted as social welfare II, and it helps to identify the degenerate nature of the standard social welfare scheme.…”

“…These schemes have been previously used through mathematical models to allocate resources in agricultural (water) and industrial systems (raw materials) (Munguía-López et al 2019 ; Juárez-García et al 2020 ). Furthermore, the social welfare approach has been used to allocate supply and demand in electricity markets (Zavala et al 2017 ).…”

The fair allocation of resources among multiple stakeholders in any area is a complex challenge for decision-making. This paper presents an optimization strategy for the allocation of COVID-19 vaccines, when they are available, through different fairness schemes (social welfare, Nash, Rawlsian justice, and social welfare II scheme). The applicability of the proposed model is illustrated using the case study of Mexico, including the states of the country as stakeholders. We involve several parameters to guide the allocation, such as the size, risk profiles, and fraction of vulnerable groups in the population. Furthermore, different scenarios of the availability of potential COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated. The social welfare approach is the most commonly used scheme for the allocation of resources. However, we demonstrate that this scheme yields non-unique or multiple solutions (through the social welfare II approach). These social welfare approaches provide inequalities in the allocations that become critical when resources are scarce. Specifically, the social welfare scheme favors large stakeholders (greater population) in all scenarios. We also observe how the complexity of the allocation increases with the higher availability of vaccines. Hence, it is relevant to consider allocation schemes to identify fair solutions.
