The New York Times: Where Do
Vaccine Doses Go, And Who Gets Them? The Algorithms Decide
Faced with the daunting task of parceling out a limited supply of coronavirus
vaccines, Trump administration officials came up with a seemingly simple
formula last year to streamline distribution of the shots. First, federal
administrators would run an automated algorithm to divide vaccine doses
nationwide, based on the size of each state’s adult population. Then each state
would decide how to dole out the shots to local hospitals, nursing homes and
clinics. (Singer, 2/7)
