So one of the prompts for the Flinn scholarship this year goes basically like this: You have only 100 vaccines for a deadly strain of influenza to give to 100 elderly and 100 children in your town. The elderly are more likely to die if they get sick, but also less likely to spread the disease. The children are less likely to die from it if they get sick, but they are more likely to spread the disease to others. Who would you vaccinate and why?
