Prioritizing the values of minimizing harms and instrumental value led to widespread agreement on priority tiers to include health care workers, first responders, people at high risk of death such as the elderly, those with comorbid conditions, and those living in congregate housing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>COVID also revealed problems with the \u00a0implementation of these values and priority tiers such as allocating vaccine based on population rather than COVID burden and passive allocation that exacerbated disparities by requiring recipients to spend time signing up for and travelling to appointments. This ethical framework should be the starting point for allocation of scarce medical resources in future pandemics and other public health conditions.\u00a0 For instance, the allocation of the new malaria vaccine among sub-Saharan African countries should be based not on reciprocity to countries that participated in research but on maximally reducing serious illness and deaths, especially among infants and children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
