Abstract
► We are the first to weigh the risk of shortage with the cost of stockpiling. ► We show how to approximately calculate stockpile levels efficiently. ► We develop theoretical bounds on optimal stockpile replenishment quantities. ► We show that storing a fixed supply of all vaccines is highly suboptimal. ► We quantify reductions in stockpile levels when there are multiple manufacturers.
