• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this early draft, we provide an overview on similarities and differences in the implementation of a paper card-based vaccine credential system and an app-based vaccine credential system. A vaccine credential's primary goal is to regulate entry and ensure safety of individuals within densely packed public locations and workspaces. This is critical for containing the rapid spread of Covid-19 in densely packed public locations since a single individual can infect a large majority of people in a crowd. A vaccine credential can also provide information such as an individual's Covid-19 vaccination history and adverse symptom reaction history to judge their potential impact on the overall health of individuals within densely packed public locations and workspaces. After completing the comparisons, we believe a card-based implementation will benefit regions with less socioeconomic mobility, limited resources, and stagnant administrations. An app-based implementation on the other hand will benefit regions with equitable internet access and lower technological divide. We also believe an interoperable system of both credential systems will work best for regions with enormous working-class populations and dense housing clusters.

  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.

  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 design two behavior-and-demography-aware indices, community risk and societal harm, which capture the risks communities face and those they impose on society from not being vaccinated.

• 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.

  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.
