This notebook is related to a project participating in the IBM-Challenge 2020. See below for what problem this project is intended for.
Problem description:
When a vaccine for COVID-19 is ready, possibly it will not be available immediately in enough quantity to immunize everyone in every region.
Objective:
In a prescriptive analytic approach, this work proposes a linear programming model aimed to optimize a city vaccination campaign in a way to minimize the number of possible deaths in a scenario where just part of the vaccines arrives in certain regions. Here we are simulating such a scenario using São Paulo city hall data.
Outcome:
A dashboard was created (link below) using the results generated here. https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/dashboards/7e0a7415-0514-4a82-838a-2f9e8949ff05/view/0768fc2738a832ff6dd7e6e4079d2a547937775bb2bb870280d07b490f317997f36d1a92c87a4f088c150d61faba475a9f
