Optimal but unequitable prophylactic distribution of vaccine

Highlights ► Develops an efficient framework to determine epidemic sizes in structured populations. ► Optimal allocation of vaccine is highly heterogeneous. ► For low vaccine supplies may be optimal to focus on a single population. ► Greater heterogeneity within populations leads to more equitable allocations.
