The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted racial and ethnic disparities, most recently in vaccine administration. The EVE (Evaluating Vulnerability and Equity) Model combines a community's vulnerability with vaccination rates to enhance the equity of vaccine distribution in an intentional, targeted manner. When applied to Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, two extreme categories of vaccination status were identified to aid in resource allocation and messaging: populations with high vulnerability and low vaccination levels, and, conversely, those with low vulnerability and high vaccinations levels.
