The 1 − η i /γ i value achieved by the online algorithm is very similar to that of the offline algorithm across age groups. Both algorithm vaccinate achieves vaccinate 90% of the most vulnerable group within 8 days.

Allocation of scarce healthcare resources under limited logistic and infrastructural facilities is a major issue in the modern society. We consider the problem of allocation of healthcare resources like vaccines to people or hospital beds to patients in an online manner. Our model takes into account the arrival of resources on a day-to-day basis, d...

... 1 − η i /γ i represents the fraction of unvaccinated agents. In Figure 6 we compare the age-wise 1 − η i /γ i of both of our online and offline algorithms. We note that the vaccination priorities given to vulnerable groups by the online approximation algorithm is very close to that of the offline optimal algorithm. ...
