Where do Covid vaccine prioritizations and community mitigation policies intersect?

Professor Nikhil Agarwal ’08, currently at the MIT Department of Economics, explored in this April 2021 YouTube presentation when and who to vaccinate against Covid. He concentrated on how the economic pressure to lift mitigation measures was offset by the fear of creating a public health disaster if thoughtful targeting was not considered. Whilst the vaccination situation in the US is very different only a few months later, this is an interesting discussion which might have implications for the future.
