Please read the scenario below and answer the following questions which follow. Include references please.
There was a natural disaster that occurred and has led to an infectious disease outbreak (your choice of one that is vaccine-preventable).

There is a vaccine available for the infectious disease but there are not enough doses to give to all who are at-risk due to the natural disaster. You are the public health official in charge of infectious disease prevention. Devise a plan to administer the vaccine to the population. Will you use a lottery system or target specific sub-populations? How will you track and monitor those who are vaccinated?
