Who should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination in China? A descriptive study

Juan Yang et al.

Summary: Based on utilitarian and egalitarian principles, the study defined the target populations and priority levels for a COVID-19 vaccination program in different phases to maximize vaccination effectiveness. Essential workers were prioritized in the early stage, followed by older adults, individuals with underlying health conditions, and pregnant women, and later extended to adults and children without underlying health conditions.

Comparing COVID-19 vaccine allocation strategies in India: A mathematical modelling study

Brody H. Foy et al.

Summary: The study found that prioritizing COVID-19 vaccine allocation for older populations can significantly reduce mortality rates; however, this may result in relatively higher total symptomatic infections. Factors such as vaccine efficacy, immunity type, target coverage, and rollout speed significantly influence the effectiveness of vaccine strategies.

Quantifying asymptomatic infection and transmission of COVID-19 in New York City using observed cases, serology, and testing capacity

Rahul Subramanian et al.

Summary: The study suggests that asymptomatic infections play a significant role in the spread and resurgence of COVID-19, even though it is challenging to accurately estimate their contributions due to changes in testing capacity. Even if asymptomatic infections have lower transmission rates, they still comprise a substantial portion of the force of infection along with presymptomatic cases.

Estimating the reproductive number R0 of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States and eight European countries and implications for vaccination

Ruian Ke et al.

Summary: The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 from a regional outbreak to a global pandemic necessitated high levels of intervention efforts to mitigate or contain the exponential epidemic growth. The early epidemic grew at exponential rates between 0.18 and 0.29/day, emphasizing the importance of effective control measures.
