Models of COVID-19 vaccine prioritisation: a systematic literature search and narrative review
Abstract Background How best to prioritise COVID-19 vaccination within and between countries has been a public health and an ethical challenge for decision-makers globally. We reviewed epidemiological and economic modelling evidence on population priority groups to minimise COVID-19 mortality, trans...

Abstract Background How best to prioritise COVID-19 vaccination within and between countries has been a public health and an ethical challenge for decision-makers globally.
