Let's vaccinate the most vulnerable with speed and precision! The report, "No Relief in Sight: The Growing Crisis of Vaccine Shortages in U.S. Counties," compares the allocation strategy recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which determines county-level allocation based on pre-determined priority populations and the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), with a more surgical distribution model developed by Cogitativo, which determines county-level allocation based on clinical data, social determinants of health (SDOH) and peer-reviewed medical literature on COVID-19 and other coronaviruses. Assuming an available national supply of 100 million doses for comparative purposes, the report simulates both approaches for the 10 most populous states.
