COVIDVax Model

Use COVIDVax to help determine the priority of an individual for COVID-19 vaccination. COVIDVax estimates the risk of COVID-19-related mortality among 7.6 million enrollees of the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). A strategy that prioritizes the highest risk persons for vaccination would minimize COVID-19-related mortality.
