Description
Summary:	This case follows up on a previous case study, Would a Global Response Analogous to the Marshall Plan Be the Most Ethical, Effective, and Rational Way to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic? In summary, a Modern Marshall Plan-like response to vaccinate the world to the point of herd immunity against COVID-19 would generate great humanitarian, economic, ethical, and other global benefits. Such a plan must focus on the least developed countries, many of which are located in Africa, in order to be effective. There are numerous logistical hurdles to vaccinating the least developed countries in Africa. This case study seeks to address how such a plan could and should be implemented to adequately address these challenges, and aims to analyze the following questions: (1) Could a Marshall Plan-like vaccination plan be designed and implemented for Africa, which includes some of the least developed countries? (2) If herd immunity could be achieved in Africa despite logistical hurdles, what would this mean for the rest of the world? Students will be asked to critically examine the logistics behind global public health policy and the need for a global response to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in countries that cannot feasibly fund and distribute COVID-19 vaccines.
