Pediatric COVID-19 vaccines: identifying optimal global allocation strategies

The key objective of this project is to assess the equity and efficiency of global allocation alternatives for paediatric COVID-19 vaccines to inform and the role of high-income countries such as the United States in the potential provision of doses. I will achieve this aim in three parts:

Part 1: I will conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to provide efficiency estimates of global COVID-19 vaccine allocation strategies via their incremental cost effectiveness ratios (ICERs).

Part 2: I will elicit the level of health inequality aversion of global vaccination policy decision makers through a discrete choice experiment (DCE) parameterizing the Atkinson Social Welfare Function (SWF).

Part 3: I will use the defined SWF to conduct a distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA), ranking the policy alternatives in accordance to the equity preferences derived in part 2 and identify the equity-efficiency tradeoffs of the modeled policy alternatives.
