Having a vaccine prioritization plan that is fair, equitable, and evidence-based will be a key element in the national and Arizona response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The National Academies has been working on a Preliminary Framework for Equitable Allocation of COVID-19 Vaccine. It will be released on September 1.
Starting September 1, the National Academies will invite public comments on a Discussion Draft of the Preliminary Framework for Equitable Allocation of COVID-19 Vaccine, part of a study commissioned by NIH and CDC. The report will be released on September 1.
The study will recommend priorities to inform allocation of a limited initial supply of COVID-19 vaccine, taking into account factors such as racial/ethnic inequities and groups at higher risk due to health status, occupation, or living conditions.
