Description

Who gets priority access to a vaccine? Should the first vaccines go to the most vulnerable and elderly populations? How do we define these terms? Who gets to decide? ‘This Matters’ talks to Daniel Ashlock, mathematics professor at the University of Guelph, about the artificial intelligence program being developed by his team, spread across three Canadian universities, that could help public health officials decide who needs the vaccine most — and how it should be used.
