ECU, Vidant and Dartmouth partnership targeted ethical vaccine distribution

“When limited resources prevent everyone from having immediate access to COVID-19 vaccines, how do you determine who needs them most urgently? Where are they located? How can you get the vaccine to them, and if you do, will they want it?

These were among the questions that a team from East Carolina University, Vidant Health and Dartmouth College came together to answer.”

“We really wanted the ENC Health website and the tools we developed to be a one-stop shop for information about health and COVID-19 in eastern NC,” said Dr. Greg Kearney, associate professor in the Brody School of Medicine’s Department of Public Health and the project’s principal investigator. “The funding and efforts for this project capitalized on Vidant’s data and ECU’s technical expertise. As a result, both Vidant and ECU worked together to create unique products and bolstered our mission statements, by serving eastern N.C. communities.”
