A Perspective on the Role of Point-of-Care Immuno-Triaging to Optimize COVID-19 Vaccination Distribution in a Time of Scarcity

Yi Zhang et al.

Summary: Vaccines offer hope in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and must be efficiently utilized to protect those most in need. A fair vaccine allocation framework at the individual level is currently lacking, but a proposed evidence-based immunological decision-making framework prioritizes individuals based on their immune status. Rapid point-of-care immunodiagnostic testing is crucial for successful implementation of this framework, aiming to ensure fair and efficient utilization of scarce vaccine resources.
