Professor Robert Walker looks at global allocation of COVID-19 vaccine in new paper
Emeritus Fellow Professor Robert Walker has written a paper discussing how to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine across the world. Professor Walker is currently a Professor in the China Academy of Social Management and the School of Sociology at Beijing Normal University.
The paper, titled ‘Who should receive the COVID-19 vaccine first?’ has been published by the Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute (OPGDI), affiliated with Regent’s Park College at the University of Oxford.
The OPGDI focuses on the development of China-UK relations. It is an interdisciplinary body encouraging collaboration between researchers, practitioners and policy-makers across China and the UK.
The paper continues a conversation initiated during the first of OPGDI’s series of online ‘In Conversations’. Under the guidance of Dr Myra Blyth (Regent’s Park College), Professor Cécile Fabre (All Souls College) and Robert Walker discussed the Fair Priority Model for allocating vaccines against COVID-19 published recently in the US journal Nature.

🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴
What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…
Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.
Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.
We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
