The effect of outcome choice on vaccine dose allocation: a modelling study
Rather than focussing on deaths, which is the approach taken in many existing COVID-19 models, targeting life-years can lead to different vaccination policies being considered optimal. We argue that - alongside infections, hospitalisations and deaths - life-years lost should be regarded as a primary measure of disease impact in the development of future vaccine programmes.
