What the New York City Marathon Can Teach Us About Equitable Access to Vaccines, Bill of Health

Ana Santos Rutschman (Villanova University), What the New York City Marathon Can Teach Us About Equitable Access to Vaccines, Bill of Health (2023):

This piece surveys a proposal for 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.
