COVID-19 Vaccination Priority Evaluation

Computing the COVID-19 vaccination priority is an urgent and ubiquitous decision problem. In this paper we propose a solution of this problem using the LSP evaluation method. Our goal is to develop a justifiable and explainable quantitative criterion for computing a vaccination priority degree for each individual in a population. Performing vaccination in the order of the decreasing vaccination priority produces maximum positive medical, social, and ethical effects for the whole population. The presented method can be expanded and refined using additional medical and social conditions. In addition, the same methodology is suitable for solving other similar medical priority decision problems, such as priorities for organ transplants.
