Spatial priority for COVID-19 vaccine rollout against limited supply

The COVID-19 vaccines are limited in supply which requires vaccination by priority. This study proposes a spatial priority-based vaccine rollout strategy for Bangladesh. Demographic, economic and vulnerability, and spatial connectivity – these four types of factors are considered for identifying the...
