Evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccination against Covid-19 in controlling the contagion and death rate in Asian countries using data envelopment analysis
This paper aimed to evaluate the performance of vaccination in Asian countries for managing Covid-19 isease in two areas: control of disease transmission and prevention of deaths (control of death rate) using a two-step Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).
In the first phase, efficiency values are calculated based on the country's population and the number of people who have been fully vaccinated to provide a basis for analysis concerning transmission control (contagion rate). In the second phase of performance evaluation, considering the total number of confirmed infection cases, preventing deaths of people suffering from this disease has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination in Asian countries.
The countries are classified into four categories using area charts, and for each category, some suggestions and analyses are presented. The results of this study indicate the vaccination performance in the field of contagion control and death prevention. Once the efficiency situation is determined, the policies and executive actions of efficient countries can be appropriate models for other countries to move towards proper efficiency and improve the situation of the pandemic.
Originality/Value:
The approach presented in this paper is to provide insight to measure the effectiveness of vaccination in future pandemic crises.
