AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

Researchers sought to understand the clinical and economic value of vaccinating people earlier with a lower efficacy COVID-19 vaccine versus waiting for a higher efficacy one. They used a model that represented the U.S. population, disease spread, vaccination timings, and efficacy in preventing infection or reducing severe disease. Results showed that in almost all circumstances, it would be more beneficial to vaccinate with the first available COVID-19 vaccine regardless of efficacy rather than waiting for a higher efficacy one.
