Ana Santos Rutschman. J Law Med Ethics. 2023.

Abstract

This article proposes the adoption of a multi-modal system for allocating vaccine doses during large transnational outbreaks of infectious diseases. The chosen allocative criteria (public health need; country-income level; qualification through funding; and, subsidiarily, a modified lottery system) are adapted from a current embodiment of allocative multi-modality outside the context of public health: the New York City Marathon.

Keywords: Epidemic; Equity; Nationalism; Pandemic; Vaccine.
