• Abstract: In this early draft, we describe a user-centric, card-based system for vaccine distribution. Our system makes use of digitally signed QR codes and their use for phased vaccine distribution, vaccine administration/record-keeping, immunization verification, and follow-up symptom reporting. Furthermore, we propose and describe a complementary scanner app system to be used by vaccination clinics, public health officials, and immunization verification parties to effectively utilize card-based framework. We believe that the proposed system provides a privacy-preserving and efficient framework for vaccine distribution in both developed and developing regions.

  We present a novel technique for evaluating vaccine allocation strategies using a multi-armed bandit framework. $m$-top exploration allows the algorithm to learn $m$ policies for which it expects the highest utility. We consider the Belgian COVID-19 epidemic using the individual-based model STRIDE, where we learn a set of vaccination policies.

  This paper presents a classification model for detecting COVID-19 vaccination related search queries. We propose a novel approach of considering dense features as memory tokens that the model can attend to. We show that this new modeling approach enables a significant improvement to the Vaccine Search Insights (VSI) task.

  We leverage the textual posts on social media to extract and track users' vaccination stances in near real time. We integrate the recent posts of a user's social network neighbours to help detect the user's genuine attitude. Based on our annotated dataset from Twitter, the models instantiated from our framework can increase the performance of attitude extraction by up to 23%.

  We conducted a representative online study in Germany on a sample of 599 participants to evaluate the user perception of vaccination certificates. Our main results show that the willingness to use and adopt vaccination certificates is generally high. The willingness to use digital apps decreased significantly by a higher disposition to privacy, and increased by higher worries about the pandemic and acceptance of the coronavirus vaccination.

• Classifying vaccine sentiment tweets by modelling domain-specific representation and commonsense knowledge into context-aware attentive GRU [9.8215089151757]
  Vaccine hesitancy and refusal can create clusters of low vaccine coverage and reduce the effectiveness of vaccination programs. Social media provides an opportunity to estimate emerging risks to vaccine acceptance by including geographical location and detailing vaccine-related concerns. Methods for classifying social media posts, such as vaccine-related tweets, use language models (LMs) trained on general domain text. We present a novel end-to-end framework consisting of interconnected components that use domain-specific LM trained on vaccine-related tweets and models commonsense knowledge into a bidirectional gated recurrent network (CK-BiGRU) with context-aware attention.

  A vaccine credential's primary goal is to regulate entry and ensure safety of individuals within densely packed public locations and workspaces. We believe a card-based implementation will benefit regions with less socioeconomic mobility, limited resources, and stagnant administrations. An app-based implementation will benefit regions with equitable internet access and lower technological divide.

  We examine the extent to which the vaccination debate on Twitter is conductive to potential outreach to the vaccination hesitant. We discover that the vaccination skeptics, as well as the advocates, reside in their own distinct "echo chambers" At the center of these echo chambers we find the ardent supporters, for which we build highly accurate network- and content-based classifiers.
