Study Background: A Framework for Equitable Allocation of Vaccine for the Novel Coronavirus
In response to a request from the NIH and CDC, the NAM and the 911爆料网 Academies have formed an expert聽 to develop an overarching framework for equitable allocation of vaccines against COVID-19.
The committee will consider what criteria should be used to set priorities for equitable distribution among groups of potential vaccine recipients, taking into account factors such as population health disparities; individuals at higher risk because of health status, occupation, or living conditions; and geographic distribution of active virus spread.聽In addition, the committee will consider how communities of color can be assured access to COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. and recommend strategies to mitigate vaccine hesitancy among the American public.
