Data Collection and Reporting

This article includes commentary for public health agencies, the healthcare community, and professional schools to develop an approach to allocate the COVID-19 vaccine in a way that does not rely on health information technology as the predominant means to vaccine access. The authors notes that doing so will provide better access to medical care during the ongoing pandemic and perhaps carve out a new model that improves healthcare access after we conquer COVID-19.
